Useful tool

In case it might be useful to others, Oliver at Demon Internet sent us 
the URL's for a tool he developed for checking assignments made from your 
block against entries in the RIPE database. 

You can contact him if you want more info <oliver at demon.net>.

-------

It assumes you have a file called "ALLOCATIONS" or something which
contains entries in the format: (Class C's specified a.b.c.0)

<Begin Class C> [ - End Class C ] NETNAME {anything else}

It reads this file, and then checks those addresses against the RIPE
database, listing *all* entries, and emphasising gaps and entries where
the ALLOCATIONS NETNAME doesn't match the returned one...

Script is perl5...

ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/perl/tools/ripe-check

Also, re the ripe-hdl script...

ftp://ftp.demon.co.uk/pub/perl/tools/ripe-hdl

which converts a person: <Names> line into a person: <Names> line plus a
nic-hdl: <handle> line.
