New tool announcement from Merit/IRRd: IRRj

Merit's IRRd team is pleased to announce the 1.0 Beta version of IRRj,
a Java interface to the Internet Routing Registry.  IRRj replaces the 
traditional e-mail submission process for database objects, and offers 
the following features:

   - Speed: IRRj opens a TCP socket connection to IRRd and provides 
     fast, immediate feedback on the success or failure of your object 
     submission.

   - Authentication: supports CRYPT-PW, PGP-FROM, and NONE 
     authentication schemes transparently.

   - IRRd query support: offers full querying capabilities 
     to retrieve objects for editing and resubmission.

   - Custom editing features: automatically appends 
     delete fields to all objects, imports object templates.

   - Split window interface:  IRRj includes a submission window and 
     an IRRd feedback window.

IRRj can be invoked from the Web or as a standalone application.
System requirements are Sun's JDK (free from java.sun.com), Netscape
4.5+ or Java Plugin 1.2.2 (Internet Explorer or Netscape on Win32).
IRRj runs on any Java capable machine, including Windows, Solaris,
and most flavors of Unix.

IRRj object submission will work with the RADB and any other IRR
database that supports the IRRd synchronous object submission
protocol. See http://www.irrd.net for more information about the
freely available IRRd software.
	
IRRj is freeware and can be downloaded and/or invoked from the web at:
