Hallo Warpslide,

Just fyi and if it might help someone, here is the configuration that  
I'm using to create the nodelist for WeedNet:

------< makenl.ctl >----------
logfile         weednet.log
master          ./master
name            WeedNet
make            composite
outfile         WEEDNET.
outpath         ./output
allowunpub      1
alphaphone      1
arccopy         Z zip -j9o
arcmove         Z zip -j9mo

files
zone 420        zone420.txt
------< /makenl.ctl >----------

In the directory 'master', I have prolog.txt, epilog.txt, cpyright.txt  
and zone420.txt.
zone420.txt contains the real nodelist entries.

Now, just by issueing 'makenl', the nodelist will be created in the  
'output' directory.

I've created a shell script around all this which runs makenl, creates  
the .zip files, adds it to the Synchronet filebase and hatches it to  
the fileecho.
This script is run via a cronjob every friday in the morning.

If of interest, I can post this script.

My setup is pretty small and as it is not a segment of FidoNet etc.  
but a single othernet, I don't have to send or receive messages etc.

Regards,
Anna
