  75.  
  76.      This  package includes  the  T.A.G. Nodelist  Index Compiler  NLINDEX.
  77.      T.A.G. does not  use a  compiled nodelist,  instead it  reads the  raw
  78.      nodelist  file(s) directly  using a  relatively small  index file.   A
  79.      simple  configuration file  is used  to specify  the cost  file, which
  80.      zones and nets should be compiled into the index, and the location and
  81.      domain of each raw nodelist file.
  82.  
  83.      Multiple  zones (1  through 65535),  domains, and  nodelist  files are
  84.      completely supported.
  85.  
  86.  
  87.                   *** NLINDEX.CFG Configuration File Format ***
  88.  
  89.      The configuration file  is in  standard ASCII format  and may  contain
  90.      lines beginning with the following:
  91.  
  92.           ;              This line indicates  a comment.   The rest of  the
  93.                          line is ignored.
  94.  
  95.           Costs          This  line is  followed by  the complete  path and
  96.                          filename of  the cost definition file.   This file
  97.                          should be in ParseList/FrontDoor "COST" compatible
  98.                          format.    NLINDEX will  skip  other configuration
  99.                          information in the file.  A sample of this file is
  100.                          included below:

  127.           IncludeZones   This  line is followed by  a list of  the zones to
  128.                          compile into T.A.G.'s index.   Zones are specified
  129.                          by number (1,2,6) or  ranges (1-3,6) separated  by
  130.                          commas.    Multiple  zone  restriction  lines  are
  131.                          allowed.  This is an optional line.
  132.  
  133.           IncludeNets    This line is  followed by  a list of  the nets  to
  134.                          compile into T.A.G.'s  index.  Nets  are specified
  135.                          by  number  (120,2410)  or  ranges  (120-130,2410)
  136.                          separated  by  commas.   Multiple  net restriction
  137.                          lines are allowed.  This is an optional line.
  138.  
  139.           NodeList       This line  is followed by two  fields separated by
  140.                          at least on  space.   The first is  the domain  in
  141.                          which the nodelist is located.  The  second is the
  142.                          complete path and file  name with the extension to
  143.                          the raw nodelist.   NLINDEX automatically searches
  144.                          for the latest "<filename>.###" raw nodelist file.
  145.                          Multiple nodelist restriction lines are allowed.
