asused for Debian
-----------------

RIPE NCC announced the introdution of 32 Bit ASN, this version is not prepared
to support this, since the 'support [...] is discontinued'. So if you are own
an 32 Bit ASN, this software will not work for you!
Feel free to provide patches to fix this issue.

Statement by RIPE NCC:

"Dear 'asused' users!

Please, note, that support of this program is discontinued and
that RIPE NCC is coming with the new improved program as a
replacement."

Unfortunately the improved the replacement can't be found yet. So hopefully we
live with what we have yet.

Before you start, you need to setup a global config /etc/asused.conf or a
.asusedrc in your home. An example can be found in
/usr/share/doc/asused/examples/

Registry Information File
-------------------------

To use asused, you need to fill a config file with your registry
information. You can put it into the asused.conf file in the current
working directory, or into .asusedrc in your home directory.
Alternatively, you can specify an arbitrary file location on the asused
command line with the --config switch.

The config file should contain:

REGID = your registry ID, as it was assigned by RIPE NCC

ALLOC = a set of strings, each of them should have one allocation
        string in a prefixed notation.

There is a file called asused.conf in this distribution containing
example data.
