Hi Marc.

 ML> Is there a method of getting binkd for OS/2 to read the NodeList?

If you have perl in your binkd:

# Use perl-hook for nodelist from
# ftp://happy.kiev.ua/pub/fidosoft/mailer/binkd/nodelist.pl
#perl-hooks d:\\fido\\binkd\\nodelist.pl
#perl-var nodelist fidonet:d:\\fido\\nodelist\\nodelist.[0-9][0-9][0-9]
#perl-var magichost *
#perl-dll perl58.dll # only for win32 and os/2 versions with runtime DLL load

I don't, so I'm using 'nl2binkd' bash script to convert the nodelist to 'nl2binkd.inc'.

#!/bin/bash
#
# nl2binkd v1.09
# (c) 2012-2018 by Markus Reschke
# Fidonet 2:240/1661 / madires@theca-tabellaria.de
#
# This script extracts nodes with binkd services from the standard Fidonet
# nodelist and creates a special nodelist for binkd.
#
# If the maddr tool is available proper IP address syntax checking is
# performed.
