WHOIS changes

Hallo,

I tried to trace back some suspicous adresses - but This is what I got 
from the WHOIS request:

% This is the RIPE Whois query server #2.
% The objects are in RPSL format.
%
% Note: the default output of the RIPE Whois server
% is changed. Your tools may need to be adjusted. See
% http://www.ripe.net/db/news/abuse-proposal-20050331.html
% for more details.
%
% Rights restricted by copyright.
% See http://www.ripe.net/db/copyright.html


following the information, I got this:
"These changes alter the default output of the Whois server.
    If you need the old output, you can get it by using the "-B"
    and "-G" flags, like this:
       whois -B -G 193.0.1.17:"

But how  and where do I change the settings?

best regards, Marie-Luise Hansen
