  Have you seen <http://www-cnr.lbl.gov/6bone/6bone_tools.html> and, in
particular, <http://www.ibs-us.net/ipv6/ipv6-addr.html>?

  The tool page calculated it as (using 199.0.193.1/24 as your IPv4 addr):

	5F04:D700:00C7:C100:0000:00A0:D102:33FA 

  Doesn't look like the byte got swapped properly (0xC700.C1 vs 0x00C7.C1).
Maybe I got up on the wrong side of the intel this morning, but I think
your answer is correct.

  The subnet field doesn't help too much if you're an A-class either.  (:
Just decide which bits represent your subnet.
