+# Subcalc #
+Subcalc is a small Python program I wrote as a free assigment during a Python
+class at EC Utbildning. The program takes a netmask in slash notation as
+argument and gives back the netmask in dotted decimal notation.
+
+## Usage ##
+```
+Usage: subcalc.py <netmask in slash-notation>
+Example: subcalc.py 24
+```
+
+## License ##
+Subcalc is made by Jack-Benny Persson and is released under GNU GPL version 2.
