- Upfront
-
-
- WARRANTY:
-
- There are no warranties or guarantees of any kind for this
- program or for any other Opus software. The entire risk of
- using OpusNode and any other Opus software is yours.
-
-
- LICENSE TO USE OPUSNODE:
-
- As with any Opus software, you are free to use Opusnode as
- long as you do so in a LAWFUL and FRIENDLY manner.
-
-
- LICENSE TO DISTRIBUTE OPUSNODE:
-
- You can transfer Opusnode to anybody as long as there is no
- consideration (other than goodwill) involved. You are
- forbidden to make money from the transfer of Opusnode.
- Opus software must always be free. If your system (or service)
- charges a fee to callers/users, for example, then you may not
- have Opusnode on-line for download.

-
- OPUSnode is a node list compiler.
-
- It takes a file called NODELIST.BBS and creates NODELIST.SYS
- and NODELIST.IDX. Both Fido<tm> and Seadog<tm> have this
- function built into the programs themselves. With Opus, it
- is a stand-alone utility.
-
- You only need to use OPUSnode if you want to send outgoing
- messages through the matrix (network).
-
- In addition to compiling, you can split the node list into
- two separate entities: domestic and overseas.
-
-
- * OPUSnode may use Fido<tm> compatible
- NODELIST.BBS or Seadog<tm> compatible NODELIST.BBS
- files generated by a program like XLatList.
-
- * OPUSnode looks for NODELIST.BBS in the current
- directory.
-
- * If you use XLatList and you plan to get domestic
- and overseas files, do not use the XLatList "NODASH"
- option. OPUSnode will need to have dashes in all
- phone numbers to recognize which are U.S. phone
- numbers and which are European, Australian, etc.
-
- * We use the word "domestic" to mean calls within the
- continental United States. OPUSnode's source code
- is available to those living outside the United
- States who wish to change the program.
-
- Options:
-
- -f ... fix the NODELIST.SYS and NODELIST.IDX
- files. Without this option, the program
- will simply display a chart.
-
- -d ... display
-
- -s ... short file. Do not include phone numbers
- that look `international.'
-
- -o ... overseas. Do not include phone numbers
- that look like they belong to someone
- in the United states.
-
- -h ... do not include HUB entries in the output
- nodelist. This will result in a slightly
- smaller output file.
-
- Usage:
-
- OPUSnode [options]
-
-
- NOTE: You must use at least one option.
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- OpusNode now supports the use of node passwords which have been
- implemented in Opus version 1. A file named Opusnode.pwd is
- currently used to define these passwords. The format is:
-
- <net>/<node> <password>
-
- Both net and node must be supplied. The password is limited to
- 6 characters, any excess will be truncated. Only one node entry
- per line.
-
- OpusNode will not complain if this file is missing, it just will
- not assign any passwords.

- Update History
- --------------
-
- These changes made by Wes Cowley (137/42)
-
- v1.3.0 (03/10/87): Minor modifications to compile under Lattice C.
- Allowed processing of HUB entries.
- Added -h option to prevent HUB entries from
- appearing in the output nodelist.
-
- v1.3.1 (03/28/87): Allowed processing of IGATE, OGATE, and
- GATE entries. They are treated just
- like HUB entries were in 1.3.0.
- Multiple node designators are no longer
- fatal, nor are unrecognized ones (such as
- the ';' found in some nodelists.
-
- v1.4.2 (07/05/87): Allows the use of node passwords.
-
- v1.4.4 (07/13/87): First release version of 1.4.x.
- Session passwords are implemented.
-
- v1.4.5 (07/23/87): Fixes the scripts which were broken sometime
- down the line. The only editting that will
- be done on scripted phone numbers is to ensure
- that there is a closing quote on the filename.
-
- v1.4.6 (08/01/87): Fixes the domestic phone number verification.
