Hi all!

...and thanks a lot for your patience. I think FWdoc now basically is
ready for use or at least beta-testing - and thus has superceded
FW1Rules. 

	http://www.wyae.de/software/fwdoc/

Please do test it and give comments. Yes, I know the documentation is
quite ... ahem ... unpolished. After all, it's still beta.
;-)

The main difference to FW1Rules (and similar) is that FWdoc is designed
modular, thus you convert and filter by piping all through the tools.
Additionally the toolset is designed to be vendor-independent, thus some
parts are not exactly like you might know them (e.g. layer7 handling).

You create a HTML output similar to the one you know from FW1Rules with

	fw1r55_to_fwdoc.pl \
		| fwdoc_used_objects.py \
		| fwdoc_to_html.py \
		> DOC.html

or a list of unused objects with

	fw1r55_to_fwdoc.pl \
		| fwdoc_used_objects.py --unused_objects\
		| fwdoc_to_txt.py \
		> UNUSED.txt


or tables of services with

	fw1r55_to_fwdoc.pl \
		| fwdoc_used_objects.py \
		| fwdoc_to_tables.py --with_headers --services=service.tsv \
		> /dev/null

or even SQL listing with the tables tool (*and* create the HTML doc)
like

	fw1r55_to_fwdoc.pl \
		| fwdoc_used_objects.py \
		| fwdoc_to_tables.py \
			--rowprefix="insert into SVCTABLE values("
			--enclose="'" \
			--columnseparator="," \
			--rowsuffix=");"
			--services=service.sql	\
		| fwdoc_to_html.py \
		> DOC.html



Thanks a lot for your patience & testing!

Volker
