CHA0S NL-CRC version 1.0ß
The Nodelist "finishing-touches" Utility
By Greg MacLellan (C)1997 CHA0Soft
-----[ Legal Stuff that nobody reads ;) ]-------------------------------------
NL-CRC is distributed as FREEWARE. No charge may be used with this product,
execpt in the case of shareware/freeware packs, where the cost is not for
this program specifically, but a collection of products and/or the medium
(so long as it's not electronic (ie. Internet, BBS vs CD-ROM etc)).
I, Greg MacLellan, make no guarantee that this product will work, or won't
mess up your files/hard drive/computer etc, only that it worked on my system
and it _SHOULD_ work on other people's as well =)
This has been tested under DOS, Windows95, and OS/2 Warp 3.0, and works fine.
-----[ What's it do? ]--------------------------------------------------------
NL-CRC is designed to add a header to the top of a nodelist, and add the CRC
value of line 2+, as specified in FTS-0005.TXT. It also has the ability to
rename the nodelist according to the day of the year.
This probably won't be used much in FidoG0d Net <g> but us "Net of the
week"(tm)er's can sure use it ;)
-----[ How do i use it? ]-----------------------------------------------------
NLCRC.EXE [-R] <nodelist> <header text . . . >
If you specify "-R", the nodelist will be renamed to the day of the year.
Only the extension is renamed. So say you were working on MYLIST.001. If
today was January 8th, if you specified -R the nodelist would be called
MYLIST.009 when it was done. If it was May 5th, the nodelist would be re-
named to MYLIST.125 (since May 5th is the 125th day of the year).
<nodelist> is a required parameter. It just specifies the input nodelist.
Note that NL-CRC will also make <nodelist>.TMP when it's running, which
it will delete when it's done.
<header text . . . > is the text to put at the top of the nodelist. This
can be up to 77 characters long, and will be truncated if it is any longer.
The 16-bit CRC will be added after a ":" at the end of the line, as specified
in the FidoNet technical standards. You can also include the following
commands in this line:
- ~D - current date (MM-DD-YY)
- ~N - replaced with the day number ("1" for Jan 1st, etc)
- ~T - current time (24-hr) (HH:MM)
For example, if it was 9:30 am on May 5th, and you specified the following
as your header: "Nodelist created on ~D at ~T for day ~N", the following
would be put at the begining of the nodelist:
; Nodelist created on 05-05-97 at 09:30 for day 125 : 12345
^ ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^ ^^^^^
It's a comment ~D ~T ~N 16-bit CRC
(it will only put the first line there, the other two are included so you
know what i'm talking about! :) )
Also keep in mind that these commands are case sensitive. Ie. if you specify
"Nodelist for day ~n" it will put
; Nodelsit for day ~n : 12345
which doesn't really make much sense to anyone ;)
