notes from last night

Eric,
	okay...here's the scoop on this. The way this is done is we
take the internic reports, networks.txt and network-contacts.txt and
then *try* to build ripe objects out of it. The script was originally
done by someone in Germany and I just kludged (as is my general style)
it to work. I say try as it doesn't deal with ranges, it does some
checks as well. I already spoke to you about when I was in US
(currently back in A'dam finishing off things) and I will send the
script to rr-impl as soon as I can get into MCI to get it (cant at the
moment).
The alternative is just one copy is made as this is kind of slow and disted
around.  We probably should just ask the Internic to do this.
Unfortunately, they weren't at the GRR bof. I've cc'd Mark to see if
this is possible.

		--Tony.

P.S. The indexing of this takes a mighty long time as well.

  * Can someone tell me who and where the Internic db is generated and
  * kept? I have a need for it for another project.
