• Nodelist

    From Richard Menedetter@432:1/105 to All on Sun Oct 2 17:18:00 2016
    Hi All!

    My nodelist processor has an issue with the vkradio.zip which contains a vkradio.zxx

    Why not make a vkradio_info and a vkradio_nodelist or whatever.

    The nodelist echo would contain the vkradio.zxx compressed nodelist.
    So I could process it automatically (like all other nets I am part of)

    Also wouldn't it be a good idea to use proper TIC software??

    ==== Begin "htick.txt" ====

    Usage: htick [options] <command>
    Options: -q Quiet mode (display only urgent messages to console)

    toss [annfecho <file>] Do tossing. [Announce new fileechos in text file]
    toss -b Toss bad tics
    scan Scan netmail area for mails to filefix and process
    filefix commands contained inside the mails
    ffix <addr> <command> Process filefix command for address from command line
    ffix! <addr> <command> The same as 'ffix' and notify the link of the
    processed filefix command
    relink <pattern> <addr> Refresh subscription for fileareas matching pattern
    relink -f [file] <addr> Refresh subscription for fileareas listed in the file
    resubscribe <pattern> <fromaddr> <toaddr> - move subscription of areas
    matching pattern from one link to another
    resubscribe -f [file] <fromaddr> <toaddr> - move subscription of areas
    listed in the file from one link to another
    clean Clean passthrough dir and old files in fileechos
    announce Announce new files
    send <file> <filearea> <address> Send file from filearea to address
    hatch <file> <area> [replace [<filemask>]] [desc <desc> [<ldesc>]]
    Hatch file into area using description for file,
    if "replace" is present, add replace field to TIC;
    if <filemask> is not present then put <file> in field;
    if "desc" is present, add description(s);
    a short one line <desc> and a long <ldesc>.
    One may use the following as <desc>:
    @@BBS to use first line from files.bbs
    @@DIZ to use 1st line from the contained file_id.diz
    @@<file> to use first line from <file>
    @BBS to load from files.bbs
    @DIZ to load from the contained file_id.diz
    @<file> to load from <file>
    The last three items may be used as <ldesc>.
    filelist <file> [<dirlist>] Generate filelist which includes all files in base

    I have been considering adding a VK_NODE echo for nodelists only. You've just increased my inclination towards doing so.

    The nodelist echo would contain the vkradio.zxx compressed nodelist.

    Yep, good idea. I certainly have no objections to a VK_NODE echo, and you've made an excellent case for it. Stay tuned.

    I only have the hatching issue. Mystic does most of the rest.

    Yeay ... already done ;))
    Many thanx!

    When I came home it already autoupdated the vkradio nodelist all by its own without my manual intervention!

    Cool, and I have another nodelist to hatch with the new nodes that have joined in the last couple of days. :)


    ... Very funny Scotty, now beam down my clothes!
