- Notes for Nodify ver 1.0:
-
- 08/26/91 Version 1.0 release.
-
- I have cleaned up the code a little bit and added a new option.
- You can now specify the name of a config file to be used in place
- of NODIFY.CFG. It came in handy while testing for me and I
- thought it would be of use to those who may need to process for
- different networks. Nodify also reports the number of messages
- written before a normal exit.
-
- I feel pretty good about this in general and am making this the
- full release.
-
- There are going to be future updates as time permits.

-
- 07/21/91 Version 1.0c beta.
-
- I have been busy on other project for my (part-time ?) job, and
- barely had some time to work on this update. This update was
- done in a few hours time.
-
- The keywords in the config file are nolonger case sensitive.
-
- As a part of multi zone support, you can specify a ZONE keyword.
- It will change the default zone from the one given in your
- address. This will most likely be of use of a *C who blongs to
- an othernet (tm) and uses a different zone as primary.
-
- Example:
-
- ZONE 69
-
-
- FLAG is the other optional keyword. You can add in your own
- kludge line with this flag. Note, it one adds one klude line.
- The main use of this is for making a message do direct via a
- FLAGS kludge line.
-
- Example:
-
- FLAG FLAGS DIR

- ----
-
- 6/19/91. Version 1.0b beta.
-
- Zone and point support is added in from what I could figure out
- in FTS-0001. The point addressing should not cause problems.
- Unfortunatly, the standard in the stored message has changed
- slightly from what I remember. FTS-0001 shows zone and point
- numbers (both orig and dest) where two date stamps used to be.
- <sigh> Let me know if a reader or packer breaks on it..
-
- Points are not parsed from the nodelist... yet.
-
- Point number assumes to be no point.. (not necessairly true..)
-
- Multi Zone support probabally will not work.
-
- Both the network and zone default to what is found in the config
- file. It should no longer be necessary to make sure a Host,
- Region, or Zone keyword appears in the nodelist segment.
-
- There was a slight glitch where I was trying to use addition to
- get the correct attribute value for a message. I had MsgPrivate
- listed twice and the message was written as crash. I've fixed it
- from my programming errors and added the local bit as was
- intended the first time out..
-
- The required fields in the config file are checked for now.
- Errorlevel 2 indicates a fatal error in the config file. I.e.,
- not there, or missing required parameter.

- ----------
-
- 6/9/91.
-
- Lines in the config file:
-
- NODE 1:369/11.0
-
- node address, needs to be 4d for now.
-
- The segments: Again, it is not completely zone aware, but can
- handle within one zone. Also, you should let it process the
- host statment in the segment. It is not defaulting a network
- address right now, and needs to find it from the segment for the
- destination addresses.
-
- The config file: The program reports bad lines, but not missing
- lines. If your config file is missing a control line, I don't
- know what will happen.
-
- To get a hold of me: (for bugs and comments, etc.)
