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??

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

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

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!
