Before you do anything else, print the documentation file MAKENL.PRN
and read Section 1. carefully. Then follow it's directions.
To print MAKENL.PRN, align your printer so that the print head is
even with the page perforation, and execute:
COPY MAKENL.PRN PRN
Contact the coordinator to whom you submit your updates immediately
if you encounter any problems.
--------------------------
If you are upgrading from an earlier version of MakeNL to version
2.50, and if you MAKE COMPOSITE, the following is important:
By default, earlier versions of MakeNL produced a first line in the
nodelist similar to:
;A FidoNet Nodelist for Friday, February 8, 1991 -- Day number 039 : 22231
It has been pointed out to me that this default behavior is not very
good form because "FidoNet" is the registered trade mark of Tom
Jennings. Beginning with version 2.50, the default first line of a
distribution list will look something like:
;A Nodelist for Friday, February 8, 1991 -- Day number 039 : 22231
You can provide a network name for insertion where "FidoNet" used to
be. It can even be "FidoNet!" Either the "/N" command line switch,
or the "NAME" configuration verb may be used for this puropse. Both
are documented in MAKENL.PRN. Neither has any effect unless you MAKE
COMPOSITE.
In case you forget, MakeNL will issue a warning stating that it has
no network name for the nodelist header, but it will generate the
list without one.
--------------------------
It is not to spec, but I am told certain mailers have difficulty
handling out-going messages which do not contain a ^AINTL extended
address, EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT LEAVING YOUR ZONE. If yours is one of
these, you may now force MakeNL to add extended addressing to all its
messages. See the SUBMIT verb in MAKENL.PRN.
DO NOT USE THIS FEATURE UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY NEED IT. IT'S WRONG!
