- Alloc is a database provided by Skip Rockwell, K3ARV. Review it by viewing
- the files ALLOC.LIS and ALLOC.FUL. ALLOC.LIS will be displayed to the
- user who types SH/ALLOC <ENTER>. ALLOC.FUL is the database itself.
- ALLOC.AOK is furnished to limit updates (SYSOP should change if desired),
- and ALLOC.NF is provided to help the user if the ALLOC is not found.
-
- To implement SH/ALLOC, first load the two files into your PACKCLUS directory.
-
- Then, make the index file by executing the MAKEIDX utility as follows:
-
- MAKEIDX ALLOC.FUL 3000 <ENTER>
-
- Next, add the following line to your SYSOP.DAT file:
-
- SET/COMMAND ALLOC ALLOC.LIS ALLOC.FUL/ALLOC.IDX * * ALLOC.NF
-
- And, if you didn't shut down the node to install the database, type in the
- above line as a SYSOP command.
-
- Other nodes may access the database on your node by adding a line to their
- SYSOP.DAT and/or typing in the line as a command. If the callsign of the
- node where the database is installed is W3LPL, then the other nodes would
- execute the following command (in SYSOP.DAT and/or as a direct command):
-
- SET/COMMAND ALLOC * * * * * W3LPL
