- NAME
- loadnet.tos - build a net list from dumpnet output
-
- SYNOPSIS
- loadnet [-{n}] <dumpnet-output-file>
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Loadnet takes an ASCII file of output from its companion
- program, dumpnet, and automatically enters all the informa-
- tion into your net list. It will enter nodes into the net
- list, complete with all the configuration information, and
- will also share all net rooms with the nodes. The rooms
- must all exist beforehand for the automatic room sharing to
- work.
-
- Loadnet must be run from the directory containing
- ctdltabl.sys.
-
- OPTIONS
- -{n} The value to use as the ID# of the last net message
- transferred for any shared room, if no value is speci-
- fied in the <dumpnet-output-file> for that room.
-
- <dumpnet-output-file>
- The file containing dumpnet's output. This must be
- supplied.
-
- NOTES
- This program is intended to be used when a system changes
- from one version of Fnordadel to another. You shouldn't
- NEED to use it, because any conversion SHOULD be done for
- you by a converter program, but what the heck.
-
- You need not ensure that rooms are networked rooms before
- running this program; they need only exist, and loadnet will
- make them shared.
-
- The -{n} parameter, which is something you will not normally
- use, can have either a positive or negative value. If nega-
- tive (i.e. --53, for example), the value is subtracted from
- the highest message known to the system, to arrive at the
- default message ID#.
-
- If the value is positive, it is taken to be an absolute mes-
- sage ID#.
-
- FILES
- loadnet.tos Net list loader.
- #netdir\ctdlnet.sys The net list.
- ctdltabl.sys The tables file.
