- Proposal for a new Nodelist-Compiler (c) St.Slabihoud
- =======================================================
-
- 1.Why do we need a new nodelist compiler?
-
- When you use BTNC to compile an 1.2 mb nodelist you will get
- an aprox. 2 mb (binary styled) nodelist file. So you need
- aprox. 3.2 mb for both nodelists ;-(
-
- 2.What do you propose?
-
- I propose to use an index file to access the raw (uncompiled) nodelist.
-
- 3.How much hd space does it use?
-
- The index file for an 1.2 mb nodelist only needs 300 kb!
-
- 4.Does is work with multiple nodelists?
-
- Yes, of course!
- I have included two demonstration programs:
- MKRAWIDX and GETRAWNL
-
- Example:
- If you want to create an index file for the Fido AND NeST-Nodelist
- create following configfile for MKRAWIDX:
-
- MKRAWIDX.CFG:
- NODELIST fidonet.org D:\NL\NODELIST.069
- NODELIST nest.ftn D:\NL\NEST.069
-
- It is also possible to include 3d pointlists:
- POINTLIST fidonet.org D:\NL\POINTS24.069 2
-
- This will create an index file called NODELIST.RDX (Raw-Index).
-
-
- The syntax is:
- NODELIST <domain> <filename>
- POINTLIST <domain> <filename> [<zone>]
-
-
- To search an address call GETRAWNL. This program asks for the address
- you want to search. To quit press return without entering anything.
-
- Note: This program does NOT check if your config is correct nor if
- the files are existing. So be carefull.
