- Notes on Archie-Parselist:
-
- 1. It looks in <Binkley$path>.Nodelist for the files.
- 2. Nodelist.xxx should be called Nlist_xxx, and Nodediff.xxx should be
- called Ndiff_xxx.
- 3. When you run parse (make sure clib is loaded!), it will find the
- latest Nlist_xxx, and then search for Ndiff's sequentially after the
- Nlist_xxx, applying each one in turn. Then it will compile the
- 'latest' Nlist_xxx into the usual QNL_DATbbs and QNL_IDXbbs files
- for Binkley/ARCbbs.
- 4. ParseCfg (the config file) must be in the current directory when
- parse is run.

- New notes:
-
- Zone awareness has now been added - passwords, phone numbers and so on
- can now all have a zone specified. (Previously no zone could be
- specified, and the same password was added for every occurance of the
- same net/node combination.)
-
- Extra command line options added:
-
- -l <nodelist base name>
- The default is NList_
- This gives the base name which should be used for the nodelist.
-
- -d <nodediff base name>
- The default is NDiff_
- This gives the base name which should be used for the nodediff.
-
- ParseLst should be run multiple times if more than one nodelist is being
- used. For example, my parselst Obey file is as follows:
- ---------------------------------
- WimpSlot -min 1024K
- Hourglass On
- dir <Parse$Dir>
- Set nserver 1
- RMENSURE NodeServer 0.00 Set nserver 0
- if nserver = 1 then RMKILL NodeServer
- unset nserver
- echo Running ParseLst from <Parse$Dir>
- parse -cPARSEcfg1 -lR9202_ -dD9202_ { > ParseOut1 }
- parse -cPARSEcfg { > ParseOut }
- settype ParseOut Text
- settype ParseOut1 Text
- Hourglass Off
- ---------------------------------
- The first parse does the honours with the zone 2 help nodelist, and
- the second parse deals with the normal nodelist.
-
- Two different config files are used, because the first instance only
- applies the diff, where the second applies the diff and includes R9202_*
- as a private list.
-
- Hope this helps you all.
