Re: netmask in a script

Thanks Josef, I was hoping there was a way to avoid the manipulation work.

I have never used Python though I have looked at some. I saw 3 .py files
and release notes in the download. I saw no readable description of the
contents/functionality and more unfamiliar code I didn't want to read.
probably easier to do the manipulations than to learn Python.
