- NAME
- makezt.tos - make the network loop zap table
-
- SYNOPSIS
- makezt
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Makezt creates the Fnordadel network loop zap table from
- scratch, writing over top of any zap information that may
- already have existed. The zap table's purpose is to refuse
- replicated messages that come in from nodes anywhere on the
- network. A message is defined as being a replicate if the
- date in its header is earlier than the date of the latest
- message received from the same node, in the same room, AND
- the message's original ID# is less than the message ID# of
- the latest message received.
-
- Makezt will scan the entire message base to build the zap
- table, after which time citadel.tos will maintain it
- automatically (if you invoke citadel with the '+zap' option,
- or if you have '#define zaploops' in your ctdlcnfg.sys).
-
- Makezt expects to be run from the directory containing
- ctdltabl.sys.
-
- OPTIONS
- None.
-
- NOTES
- As makezt runs, it will display a lot of information that
- you can safely ignore. If you ever need to see what is in
- the zap table, use scanzt.tos.
-
- If the message base contains no network messages from any
- other node, makezt will not do anything.
