- ; Indexing system on raw ASCII nodelist (St.Louis/FTS-0005 format)
- ; COPYRIGHT by Arjen G. Lentz & LENTZ SOFTWARE-DEVELOPMENT; ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
- ; -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ; Sample configuration file for NodeIDX Version 1.05 (NL format revision 1.00)
-
- ; The NodeIDX system was specifically designed for easy operation in multi-line
- ; situations. One or more applications may have a nodelist file open. You don't
- ; want to have to shut down all tasks to be able to process a nodediff....
- ; This is okay, provided your nodediff processor opens nodelist files in
- ; "Read-Only / Shared / Deny-None" mode. So find one that does this, or nag the
- ; author of the processor you're currently using to get his stuff upto date ;-)
-
- ; NodeIDX can work with plain St.Louis/FTS-0005 format nodelists, but also
- ; 'Point,1,....' entries, as well as 'BOSS,2:123/456' entries with points
- ; listed as nodes right below.
- ; I think that's just about all methods in existance ;-)
-
- ; In principle NodeIDX will only build a new index when something has changed.
- ; You can overrule this behaviour by specifying one or more domain names on the
- ; command-line. * or All forces building of all indexes.
-
- ; In addition to an *.Inn INDEX, NodeIDX will also create a *.Rnn REPORT with
- ; the comment lines from all the raw lists (plus statistics at the end), and
- ; a *.Gnn GATEWAY file (domain, nodenumber, region number on each line).
- ; The gateway stuff could be of use to XenEdit and netmail packers to find for
- ; instance the nearest uucp gate; unfortunately the nodelist contains much
- ; garbage (domain 'SDS'? Non-public uucp gates) so XenEdit doesn't yet use it.
-
- ; Old indexes+extras are automatically deleted by NodeIDX, so keep off.
- ; NodeIDX checks whether any application is still using an old index.
- ; NodeIDX notifies applications about a new index via a semaphore file.
- ; So, you do NOT need to shut down all your applications for a new index!
- ; Just run NodeIDX any number of times a day to get old stuff killed quickly.
- ; If nothing needs to be done, NodeIDX will just exit.
- ; New concept perhaps, but you'll soon get used to it.
-
- ; NodeIDX exits with errorlevel 0 for success (regardless of whether something
- ; was done), errorlevel 1 if an error occurred during processing, and
- ; errorlevel 255 if this NODEIDX.CFG contains some fault.
- ; Information is written to stderr and stdout, you may want to redirect stdout
- ; to a file to keep track of any problems.
-
- ; Delete old lists when no longer used in any index (only periodic, ie .* ones)
- ; Again, NodeIDX checks whether any application has the list open, or that the
- ; list is part of any index currently in use.
- ; If so, it'll leave the file there, and just check again during the next run.
- DELETE
-
- ; Now you can specify a number of domains, and their raw files for the index.
- ; First a 'NodeList' line with the name of the index, then the path to where
- ; the index should be stored, then your main zone number for that list, and
- ; then the filespec of the raw list itself. If you specify <name>.* instead of
- ; a full filename, NodeIDX will use the file with the most recent daynumber.
- NODELIST FIDONET C:\XENIA\NODELIST\ 2 C:\XENIA\NODELIST\NODELIST.*
-
- ; You can also specify raw lists replacing whole zones, regions or nets.
- ; These DelMerge statements may be nested.
- ; The synax is: first the name of the index (same as in 'NodeList' line), then
- ; the number of the zone:zone, zone:region or zone:net so NodeIDX knows what
- ; section needs to be replaced, and then the filespec of the raw list itself.
- ; If the specified section is not found, the section is added at the end of
- ; the specified zone.
- ;DELMERGE FIDONET 2:24 C:\XENIA\NODELIST\REGION24.*
- ;DELMERGE FIDONET 2:28 C:\XENIA\NODELIST\REGION28.*
- ;DELMERGE FIDONET 2:283 C:\XENIA\NODELIST\NET283.*
- ;DELMERGE FIDONET 2:47 C:\XENIA\NODELIST\REGION47.*
- ;DELMERGE FIDONET 2:1000 C:\XENIA\NODELIST\POINTNET
-
- ; These are just items you want to add without replacing anything.
- ;MERGE FIDONET C:\XENIA\NODELIST\POINT283.*
-
-
- ; Other domains ...
-
- ;NODELIST BLABLA C:\XENIA\NODELIST\ 99 C:\XENIA\NODELIST\BLABLA.*
- ;DELMERGE BLABLA 99:999 C:\XENIA\NODELIST\BLA1NET.*
