INTRODUCTION
WNode is a new nodelist compiler in W-Nodelist format,
extremely fast and reliable. Compiled files take little space
on disk and allow a quick searching for all nodelist
fields. It is released with structures and a Turbo Pascal
unit which takes care of all low-level nodelist
procedures and makes implementation in old and new programs
very easy.
THANKS
I would like to thank all beta testers for their help and
contribution in WNode development: Ugo Uggetti, Andrea Mennini,
Massimo Gentilini, Marco Maccaferri, Cesare Dieni, Luca Leone,
Roberto Piola, Alberto Enna, Gianfranco Lanzilli, Marcello Ardini,
Angelo Ghigi.
Special thanks are due to the following people:
- Franco Schinco, for the original idea.
- Franco Carcillo, who encouraged me in carrying on
WNode project.
- ....all the people I forgot about and to whom I
address my most sincere Grazie!.....

CONFIGURATION
WNode takes the information about its configuration from a file
called WNODE.CTL: please read WNODE.CTL carefully while
configuring WNode.
If present, WNode will read WMAIL.PRM or WEDIT.PRM to find the
destination path for compiled files, otherwise it will put them
in the directory specified in WNODE.CTL.
WMAIL.PRM will be read also to get the name of log file and the
colors to use.
WNode supports FrontDoor point nodelist for 4D point addressing.
Currently, the programs who support WNode nodelist files are:
- WMail 2.1 or above
- WEdit 2.0 or above
