Do those other applications expand 192.168.N/24 to 192.168.N.0/24 ?

(which is what people will assume)

A friend who tried to nmap 192.168.55/24 got a suprise when it actually
scanned 192.168.0.0/24 (3rd octed zero, not the desired effect at all!)

I'd suggest flagging such things as syntax errors, if poss.
