About Multiple NodeDiff files, On Sat Jan 03 2004

Just a question:

Have you looked at Qnode?

From Qnode Doc:

1.5 - MULTIPLE NETWORKS

    QNode also supports the compilation of many different input nodelists
    into one big output file.  This is used for the inclusion of other
    networks (like SIGnet for example.)

    The configuration file command which enables this is the 'NODELIST'
    command, which instructs QNode on which nodelists that it is supposed
    to compile.

    To compile a joint Fidonet, Signet system you would use the two
    commands: 'NODELIST NODELIST' and 'NODELIST SIGNODES'.

    WARNING:  If you use a 'NODELIST' command in your configuration file,
    then the default fidonet nodelist will NOT be included.  You must
    explicitly include the 'NODELIST NODELIST' statement if you still wish
    to include the fidonet nodelist.

    There is a special type of input nodelist called a 'modification'
    nodelist.  It can be used to insert points, or even zones, regions,
    nets, hubs, or basically anything.  It is most often used to insert
    points though.

    The basic form of the modification nodelist is:
   
    ---cut here---
    Zone,1,->
    Region,17,->
    Host,140,->
    ,26,->
    Point,1,The_North_Village,Saskatoon_Sk,James_West,1-306-384-0836,9600
    ---cut here---

    All lines which are used to advance the current node position must be
    terminated with the ",->" sequence, and may not have any other
    characters after that sequence.

    WARNING:  'modification' nodelists will probably severely confuse a
    version 6 nodelist.  They are only for the use of version 7 nodelists.

Hope this helps.  Keep us posted.

We are a fine board trying to make it better.
