There's also Marco D'Itri's rpsltool: http://www.linux.it/~md/software/ Of the two, I prefer rpsltool (sorry ras!) - its templating facilities are better. It's also written in perl which tends to be better for text processing. PHP is a pain for text processing. Although both of these these tools are very good, neither of them implements anything near a complete RPSL parser, which is why I made my earlier command about the usefulness of irrtoolset for certain types of user. If you just want basic stuff, irrtoolset will probably do what you want out of the box. If you want moderately complicated stuff, you may run into irritating limitations in irrtoolset's rtconfig command. However, if you want to do really complicated stuff, then it's the only code-base out there which implements an almost complete RPSL implementation. And there is a small number of organisations out there who use irrtoolset to its fullest capabilities. Nick
