- ParseLst Amiga v1.60 - (Ported by Jon Radoff, Updated by Todd Kover)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Parselst is a full-features nodelist parsing, updating and compiling
- system, for the Amiga, originally ported from the MS-DOS Program, by
- Bob Hartman of the same name. At this point, it can be used with the
- Paragon BBS system, by Jon Radoff, and Welmat by Michael Richardson.
- Amiga ParseLst 1.50 fixes all the kludged things that were
- found in v1.00 and 1.50. It's the equivelent of MS-DOS Parselst v1.30
-
- The Amiga version of Parselst v1.00 supported files such as 'NewList.DAT',
- and 'OldList.DAT'. These files are no loger supported. The only types
- of nodelists and nodediffs that the Amiga version of Parselst supports
- are NODELIST.###, and NODEDIFF.###, where the '###' are three numbers,
- generally the julian date. This way, everything can be automated.
-
- There's a few differences between the MS-DOS version, and the Amiga
- version:
-
- ----
-
- Amiga ParseLst allows you to compile nodelists in a Paragon readable
- format. The configuration file entry for this would be the command
- "Paranodelist" (see the sample configuration file). It will generate
- two files for Paragon: ParaList.Dat, and ParaList.INX. These should be
- copied to NodeList.DAT and NodeList.INX, respectively, and put in your
- FidoNet nodelist directory. For more information on the Paragon BBS,
- contact Jon Radoff at 1:322/545 or Paragon HQ@ 1-508-393-3875 (9600 bps HST).
-
- The "-e" switch has a different meaning. On the MS-DOS version of
- ParseLst, it defaults to looking for your latest nodediff, and nodelist,
- and applies accordingly. On the Amiga version, you need to use the "-e"
- switch in order to do that. Therefore, if the "-e" switch is NOT there,
- it will NOT process your nodediff.
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- ALL KLUDGES FOUND IN V1.50 HAVE BEEN REMOVED! The following are the
- only command line arguments that work in 1.60:
-
- -e -- Turns ON Nodediff processing
- -n<filename> -- Uses an alternate name for the nodelist,
- rather than NODELIST.###.
- -c<config> -- Uses an alternate configuration file.
- The default is 'ParseLst.Cfg'.
- -m<mylist> -- Adds 'mylist' to the nodelist
- -p<pvtlist> -- Adds 'pvtlist' to the nodelist
- -b<baud rate> -- Changes YOUR default baud rate from the one in
- the configuration file.
-

- If you received this program in any form ofther than the ZOO archive, then
- I will not support it. If you have a problem, get the ZOOd version, and then
- I will be willing to help.

- or anything of the like, please feel free to reach me at the following
- locations:

- I poll my HUB's system.

- By the way -- this program *IS* free for you to use, as you please, under
- all the terms listed in the documentation, but, if you feel compeled to
- send me some funds for working on the program (I am currently using
- a one meg Amiga 2000 with one floppy drive and it's REALLY hard to devlop
- much of anything, with this setup!), you can send it to me at the above
- address. Thanks! -Todd
