- FASTLST
-
- Changes and Additions
-
-
-
- 1.15 - Some programs skip the first entry in V6 nodelist,
- assuming it is a dummy entry that contains the version
- number of the nodelist. These programs could loose
- the "zone number" of the first zone compiled, thus
- assuming zone 0.
- Now FastLst puts the "version ID" entry at the start
- of nodelist V6.
-
-
-
- 1.14 - Some programs do not correctly read V7 indexes when
- an empty node appears (This happens when a key has no
- greater keys in the lower index level, so that it points
- to an empty node).
- Sometimes these programs could not find part of the
- V7 nodelist entries.
- Now FastLst adds a dummy duplicate key to avoid the problem.
-
- - New "Node,<address>,..." keyword to allow
- straightforwad addition of nodes without the need for
- Zone and Host lines.
-
- - Removed the Point flag in the output nodelist for
- point 0 entries (after the "Boss,..." keyword).
-
-
-
- 1.13 - When a totally empty line was found in a nodelist
- file a strange undesired nodelist entry was compiled.
- It was not a bug since FTS-0005 does not allow
- empty nodelist lines, however it has been fixed
- to avoid problems with private manually written
- nodelist segments.
-
- - The .DOC now reports an "undocumented" feature:
- when using the "Boss,<address>" method for pointlists,
- you can also use the point #0 to easily add the Boss
- entry, if useful.
-
-
-
- 1.12 - In the case of SysOps of multiple nodes, all the
- Name/Address couples are now put in the SysOp
- lists (fidouser.lst and sysop.ndx).
- This new behaviour allows to use the great "address
- choice" feature of TimEd (excellent Dos/OS2 message
- editor by Gerard van Essen 2:281/527).
-
- - New behaviour of "SysDup" option: since now all the
- name-duplicate sysop entries are kept by default,
- SysDup allows to keep (for a particular sysop name)
- only the entry with one of the specified addresses.
-
- - Many internal changes, not visible to users: if you
- find out a new unexpected behaviour, please let me
- know.
-
- - Removed redundant empty lines in nodelist.prn and
- nodelist.txt after comment lines.
-
-
-
- 1.11 - CRC is now checked on all nodelist files that have
- the expected CRC on the first line (previously it
- was checked when applying nodediffs only).
-
- - New errorlevel 10 for CRC Error while compiling
- nodelist (errorlevel 9 is still used for CRC Error
- while applying nodediff).
-
- - When merging the first line is skipped if it contains
- the CRC.
-
- - New -r command line switch to avoid exit on CRC Error.
-
- - New -s command line switch to override SYSOP.NDX
- base name.
-
- - Any file specification can contain drive and path,
- including -n -d -o -s overrides.
-
- - When using Version7 only, the added nodelist segments
- are appended to the end of the full main nodelist
- instead of the end of your zone.
-
- - Some small changes in Nodelist.Prn and Nodelist.Txt
-
- - Fixed bug introduced in v 1.10: when a region segment
- (no zone entry) was compiled as the main nodelist,
- zone 0 was erroneously assumed.
- Now the address levels not present in the main nodelist
- correctly default to the config address.
-
-
-
- 1.10 - OS/2: First 32 bit version, compiled by BC++.
-
- - OS/2: New "flat" index sorting (no more disk based
- merge-sort).
-
- - OS/2: "TmpPath" option in *.cfg not used any more.
-
- - OS/2: Long filename support
-
- - DOS: The "TmpPath" directory is now automatically
- created when necessary.
-
- - New improved Disk Full handling (errorlevel 4)
-
- - New "-o<nodebase>" command line switch to override
- output file names (NODEX.* -> <nodebase>.*).
-
- - New "KillAfter" config verb, to save old nodelist files
- in the case of compilation error.
-
- - New "Boss <address>" statement for easier pointlist
- support (see FastLst.DOC).
-
- - New optional partial address parameter in
- "MyList <nodefile> [default partial address]"
- to allow the addition of nodelist segments without
- the need of ZONE, HOST, node prefix lines (V7 only).
- See FastLst.DOC for more details.
-
- - New "-i<include>" command line switch to allow easier
- different file inclusions.
-
- - New "KillOld" config statement to kill old versions of
- nodelist files.
-
- - New "Kill999" config statement to kill the .999 file
- that remains after merging with MergeList.
-
- - Now the .999 file is killed whenever FastLst begins
- execution, thus you do not have to manually delete it
- if you stop using the MergeList command.
-
- - Now the "Gated" config keyword prevents Hub coordinators
- of other zones to be put in the output nodelist (only
- ZC and NC remain).
-
- - New "GateAddr" config keyword allows to have only
- selected zones, regions and nets in the output files.
-
- - New "GateCoord" config keyword allows to have in the
- output files only selected coordinators from the excluded
- zones, regions and nets.
-
- - New errorlevel 9 exit after CRC error while applying
- a nodediff. If "Autoerase" is active, the nodediff and
- the resulting nodelist files are erased, otherwise they
- are renamed to NODEDIFF.BAD and NODELIST.BAD.
-
- - New "StatusLog" config statement to specify the log
- filename in the .cfg instead of the command line.
-
- - New "TypeExact" config option to set modem types in a
- way more coherent with the behaviour of Binkley 2.55 and
- newer.
-
- - New "SysDup" config option to override FastLst's choice
- when killing duplicate SysOp Names.
-
-
-
- 1.06 - OS/2: Fixed bug that caused some reg. keys not to work.
-
- - DOS: Fixed bug that sometimes caused memory problems
- during index sorting.
-
-
-
- 1.05 - New UCOST verbs to set User Cost Different from Call Cost.
-
- - OS/2: Fixed bug that sometimes caused "Disk Full" error.
-
-
-
- 1.04 - Changed redirection criteria: if you have a password with a
- hold/unpublished system or its coordinator, then it is NOT
- redirected; instead it gets an empty phone number string.
-
- - Slightly changed the algorithm to choose the entry for
- a multi-SysOp in Sysop.Ndx, so that he never gets data from
- an entry that is not used due to local segment override.
-
- - Added "Flags" Keyword to set the user defined bits.
-
- - OS/2: Fixed a bug that caused a "NULL POINTER" error when
- compiling only Version 6 and FidoUserLst.
-
-

- both comments and report are active, Thanks to Roberto
- Zanasi.
