NODEVIEW 1.3
Introduction:
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.
General Operation:
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.
Options:
Search nodelist by BBS name
This function will scan the entire Fidonet nodelist, attempting to
match the BBS name in the nodelist to the BBS name (or fragment) you
request.
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.
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.
Search nodelist by city
This function will scan the entire Fidonet nodelist, attempting to
match the city in the nodelist to the city name (or fragment) you
request.
Search nodelist entries for text
This function will scan the entire Fidonet nodelist, attempting to
match any field in the nodelist entry to the text fragment you request.
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.
Return to BBS
Fairly self-explanatory I hope.
