AceComm & Utilities (Tm)
Version 1.75
Evaluation copy 11/1/93
Utility Name: IDX.EXE
Description: Create an index file for all Host,NETs in the FIDO NODELIST
IDX.EXE is used for indexing the 'RAW' NODELIST file. This index
is currently 4 -5k in size. The index file is used by ACECOMM
for any mail related activities. For instance if you wish to make
use of the File Request option, you will (1) need a copy of the
NODELIST (2) run IDX (3) put both the NLIST.IDX and NODLIST.nnn
files into a directory pointed to by the ACECOMM directory labled
Nodelist.
IDX must be run each time the nodelist changes.
Note: ACECOMM will also use FBL.EXE output .NOD files in place of the
.IDX/NODELIST combo.
Source code for IDX.EXE is available from my BBS from file area
ACE_COMM.
- IDX Input
IDX requires an unformated nodelist file. (nodelist.234 etc.)
Formated (compiled) nodelist files won't do.
- IDX Output
IDX creates a file NLIST.IDX. The index file is nothing more than
a list of ZONE:NET pointers. an IDX record is 10 bytes long. The
first two records contain a byte equal to the nodelist.ext filename
size. Follows the filename. Filenames in NLIST.IDX will be used to
find which nodelist file they belong to.
