- Before you do anything else, print the documentation file MAKENL.PRN
- and read Section 1. carefully. Then follow it's directions.
-
- To print MAKENL.PRN, align your printer so that the print head is
- even with the page perforation, and execute:
-
- COPY MAKENL.PRN PRN
-
- Contact the coordinator to whom you submit your updates immediately
- if you encounter any problems.
-
- --------------------------
-
- If you are upgrading from an earlier version of MakeNL to version
- 2.50, and if you MAKE COMPOSITE, the following is important:
-
- By default, earlier versions of MakeNL produced a first line in the
- nodelist similar to:
-
- ;A FidoNet Nodelist for Friday, February 8, 1991 -- Day number 039 : 22231
-
- It has been pointed out to me that this default behavior is not very
- good form because "FidoNet" is the registered trade mark of Tom
- Jennings. Beginning with version 2.50, the default first line of a
- distribution list will look something like:
-
- ;A Nodelist for Friday, February 8, 1991 -- Day number 039 : 22231
-
- You can provide a network name for insertion where "FidoNet" used to
- be. It can even be "FidoNet!" Either the "/N" command line switch,
- or the "NAME" configuration verb may be used for this puropse. Both
- are documented in MAKENL.PRN. Neither has any effect unless you MAKE
- COMPOSITE.
-
- In case you forget, MakeNL will issue a warning stating that it has
- no network name for the nodelist header, but it will generate the
- list without one.
-
- --------------------------
-
- It is not to spec, but I am told certain mailers have difficulty
- handling out-going messages which do not contain a ^AINTL extended
- address, EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT LEAVING YOUR ZONE. If yours is one of
- these, you may now force MakeNL to add extended addressing to all its
- messages. See the SUBMIT verb in MAKENL.PRN.
-
- DO NOT USE THIS FEATURE UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED IT. IT'S WRONG!
