[db-wg] cmd line asused and webasused

Hi all

Last year I learned - by asking around - that the asused
tool commandline script was no longer supported by RIPE - that was after
not being able to find it on the usual ftp site.  We have since managed
to get by with an old copy but now it seems that this is no longer able
to get output from the RIPE db and hence all our adress usage and other
homemade scripts are now broken.

I assume that this step has been taken after some discussion that I
myself have been too lazy to follow in this working group, but as I cant
manage to find any reference of it in a brief search in the archives and
my mailbox that holds mails from a few years, I hope someone in the
group can enlighten me about why this step was taken.

I have tried to use the webtool, but as it spams *every* person in the
LIR contact list with several mails and all the output is jammed together in one long list,
I am not really too happy about rewriting all my scripts to some how use
the webtool to give me the nessercary output.

So - Is there *ANY* chance of somehow get support of a similar tool to the
old asused used, that one can install and run from our own box and with
the support of the same options as before or does all tools now focus on
small LIRs with very and hence very easily manually managed
addressspace?
