Is there a makerev.pl that is updated to handle 8.x &/or 9.x ?

	Hello All , I found one tool in misc that is close .
	makezones by: Philip Hazel <ph10 at cus.cam.ac.uk>

	But it wants to create all of the files from some other database .
	Which appears to be some form of a completely defined forward
	file , with some interesting (near to)beginning of the line
	specifiers .
	Ie: I'd have to like completely define everything in another file
	& then run the tool to create the zone files from that .

	But all I am interested in is creating the inverse from a forward
	file .

	makezones is a Nice tool if one has a Database (or something on
	that line) to generate the source file(s) .  Below are some items
	I found during the short time I played with it . Hth ,  JimL

	Doesn't understand 'TTL# @ soa' format ,	( 86400 @ SOA )
	nor the ' IN      LOC ' records ,		( Location records (*))
	nor does it cope with less than 'C' allocations .

 (*)	which I'd like to provide for another project I am interested in .
