6.2.30 Nodelist

Syntax:

Nodelist domain-name base-name sysop-file

Example:

Nodelist fidonet nodex sysop.ndx

MsgEd TE can use compiled version 7 nodelists to perform nodelist lookups. With the Nodelist keyword, you specify the v7 nodelists that MsgEd TE should use. All three parameters are mandatory.

The domain-name parameter specifies the name of the domain that is used when picking which nodelist to use for address lookup if the zone number is not unambiguous. The base-name parameter specifies the base name of the index file minus the extension (e.g. ‘nodex’ for ‘nodex.idx’), and sysop-file is the name of the sysop lookup file. You must not specify any path names for the latter two parameters - these files must always reside in the directory pointed specified as argument to NodePath. See The NodePath Keyword, for more information.

Normally, you will compile all raw nodelists that you have into a single v7 index. In this case, simply use the example from above. You will only have to bother about separate indices, domain names and the like if you have two distinct othernets with identical zone numbers.
