- {15}■{11} Introduction:
- {8}────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- Nodeview facilitates the search of the Fidonet-standard nodelist for a
- variety of criteria, enabling you to quickly and easily find other BBS
- systems in the Fidonet network or any other compatibile Nodelist.

- {15}■{11} General Operation:
- {8}────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
- Select an option from the main menu (the options are described in more
- detail below). Enter the parameter that you want to search for; in the
- case of text searches, it is not necessary to enter the entire text.
- A fragment of a name or phrase is all that is required.
-
- At any time during the search routine, you can stop the scanning by
- pressing any key or Q.

- match the BBS name in the nodelist to the BBS name (or fragment) you
- request.
-
- {14}■{11} Search nodelist by sysop name:
-
- This function will scan the entire Fidonet nodelist, attempting to
- match the sysop's name in the nodelist to the sysop name (or fragment)
- you request.
-
- {14}■{11} Search nodelist for Hardware/Software Support BBS's:
-
- This function will scan the entire nodelist, attempting to find any
- BBS's that have "Support" listed in their entry.
-
- {14}■{11} Search nodelist by city:

- match the city in the nodelist to the city name (or fragment) you

- {14}■{11} Toggle to long/short node display mode:
-
- Two modes of display are available, long and short. The default is
- short, which displays the address, BBS name, sysop name, phone number
- and node status. The long format adds a second line which includes the
- city and modem information, but is slightly slower scanning the
- nodelist. Note that the display mode has no effect on the scan
- parameters.

- Fairly self-explanatory I hope.
