  * In principle I agree, but to apply your suggestion we would have to change

Okay,
	seeing as I seemed a bit harsh yesterday (wasn't intended). Here is 
a piece of perl that do it. Just did this in a few mins but should do it.
Just pipe it through. Something like cat object | perl this-prog


while (<>) {
	chop;
	if(/^di:/ || /^dom-net:/) {
		($tmp,$value) = split (/\s+/, $_, 2);
		printf "%-10s", $tmp;
		@list = split(/\s+/,$value);
                	foreach $j (0..$#list) {
				$net = &munge($list[$j]);
			printf " %s", $net;
			}
	print "\n";
	next;
	} else {
		printf "%s\n", $_;
	}
}

sub munge {
	local($str) = @_;
        local($ind) = 0;
	local($val) = "";
        local(@add) = split(/\./, $str);
	foreach $ind (0..$#add) {
		if ($add[0] < 128) {
			$val = "$add[0]".".0.0.0";
			return $val;
		}
		if ($add[0] < 192) {
			$val = "$add[0]"."."."$add[1]".".0.0";
			return $val;
		}
		if ($add[0] < 224) {
			$val = "$add[0]"."."."$add[1]"."."."$add[2]".".0";
			return $val;
		}
 	}
}
	
	
	Cheers,
