The command CLEAR: will clear all the previous commands , useful if you want to cancel the previous RESTRICNUM etc , it means you will have to re-define all the convert statements , an easier way would be to put your restricted nodelist outputs at the bottom of the config. To run this create as many configs as you want (see below for details of commands) and when you run it just pass the path and name of the config you wish to use as a parameter. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONVERT= is used to change the phone numbers so they make locally. e.g. CONVERT=44-,0 (Note the seperating comma) converts 44-81 to 081 APPEND= is used to append text to the start of a number e.g. APPEND=1-,010- will change 1- to 010-1- APPEND-DEFAULT= if you define this then any node which fails to match any of the CONVERT or APPEND arguments will have this text appended to the start of the phone number, this is useful if you only need to replace one code (e.g. 44- to 0) and the rest of your international phone numbers have a standard prefix (e.g. 010-) So UK nodes for example will only need the following in the config CONVERT=44,0 APPEND-DEFAULT=010- REGION= tells it to only show nodes in that region. e.g. REGION=21 will only show nodes in region 21 RESTRICTNUM= tells it only to show nodes with phone numbers that start with that particular sequence of numbers e.g. RESTRICTNUM=44- will only list numbers starting 44- (UK) ZONE= tells it to show only those nodes in that ZONE (Turbonet is ZONE 100, NeST Zone 90 and FIDO Zone 2 (UK)) not a very useful feature unless you combine your nodelists from different Networks or use the full FIDO nodelist but only want UK nodes listed,, but you never know so I included it. e.g. ZONE=2 (UK FIDO) You CAN't use more than one of the above 3 methods of restricting output at the same time. TITLE= is just that , the title you want to be placed at the top of the output. NODELIST= is the path and name of the nodelist.XXX files , note you don't need to put an extension as the program will automatically take the highest numbered uncompiled nodelist as it's input. If no matching nodelist is found then that entry is skipped and the next one is read. FILE= defines the full path and filename of the output to be produced. if no file is defined then that nodelist is skipped and the next read .
