;REMARKS         : This UDF is a result of a KiXGolf Tournament hosted by

;                   was played.
;
;                  Assumption: Network/broadcast addresses are NOT
;                   available as regular IP addresses though RFC3021 
;                   allows /31 networks (two IP addresses where the 
;                   network/broadcast addresses are used as regular 
;                   IP addresses)
;
;                  At least two input parameters must be provided.
;
;                  If the output consists of an array of IP addresses,
;                   then the IP addresses must be sorted In ascending order.
;
;                  The subnet mask $SubnetMask can be either the traditional 
;                   four-octets OR the alternate CIDR number, 
;                   e.g. 255.255.255.0 AND 24.
;
;                  The parameters can contain up to two spaces between the 
;                   decimal points AND the number, e.g. 192.168.0.10 AND
;                   192.168.  0. 10 should be treated the same.

this I mean.
for proper explanation see the difference between the winning code and the previous ones.
it's actually too messy with the comments to see where what looping do but looking the golf-codes you see immediately the difference

will explain properly, if you still can't see it
