Here is a program that might be useful for tracing security messages concerning
internet access.  The security message gives the address as a longword, and
maybe shows part of the dotted decimal address.  This program will convert the
unsigned longword to dotted decimal (and hex), and vice-versa.


$! Title:	ADDR_CVT.COM
$! Author:	Shawn A. Clifford
$! Date:	09-DEC-1992
$! Purpose:	Convert longword network addresses (as they appear in SECURITY
$!		intrusion messages) into an internet dotted address, or
$!		vice-versa.
$! Usage:	@ADDR_CVT [longword_address|dotted_address]
$! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
$! 'f$verify(0)
$ w := write sys$output
$ w ""
$ if (p1.nes."")
$ then
$	$addr$ = p1
$	if (f$type($addr$).eqs."INTEGER") then -
     w "Longword:  ''$addr$'"	! Print the longword before it gets signed
$ else
$	read/prompt="Enter a dotted or longword internet address:  " sys$command $addr$
$ endif
$ if (f$type($addr$).nes."INTEGER") then goto to_longword
$!
$to_dotted:
$   $addr$=f$integer($addr$)	! Convert to signed integer
$   hex$=f$fao("!XL",$addr$)	! Convert the longword to a hex string
$   q1_hex=f$extract(0,2,hex$)	! Extract the hex quartet
$   q2_hex=f$extract(2,2,hex$)
$   q3_hex=f$extract(4,2,hex$)
$   q4_hex=f$extract(6,2,hex$)
$   q1=%x'q1_hex		! Convert quartet to integers
$   q2=%x'q2_hex
$   q3=%x'q3_hex
$   q4=%x'q4_hex
$!
$!	Print results
$ w "Internet Address:  ''q1'.''q2'.''q3'.''q4'   or   ''q1_hex'.''q2_hex'.''q3_hex'.''q4_hex'"
$ w ""
$ exit
$!
$to_longword:
$   x=1
$   temp=$addr$
$   loop:
$      q'x'=f$extract(0, f$locate(".",$addr$), $addr$)
$      $addr$=f$extract( f$locate(".",$addr$) + 1, f$length($addr$), $addr$ )
$      x=x+1
$   if (x.le.4) then goto loop
$   $long$=('q1'*256*256*256)+('q2'*256*256)+('q3'*256)+'q4'
$   $long$:='f$fao("!ZL",$long$)
$!
$!	Print results
$ w "Longword form of internet address  ''temp'  is  ''$long$'"
$ w ""
$ exit
