- NODEVIEW 1.4
-
- Introduction:
- Nodeview facilitates the search of the Fidonet-standard nodelist for a
- variety of criteria, enabling you to quickly and easily find other BBS
- systems in the Fidonet network or any other compatibile Nodelist.
-
- General Operation:
- Select an option from the main menu (the options are described in more
- detail below). Enter the parameter that you want to search for; in the case
- of text searches, it is not necessary to enter the entire text. A fragment
- of a name or phrase is all that is required.
-
- At any time during the search routine, you can stop the scanning by
- pressing any key or Q.
-
- Options:
-
- Search nodelist by BBS name
- This function will scan the entire Fidonet nodelist, attempting to
- match the BBS name in the nodelist to the BBS name (or fragment) you
- request.
- Search nodelist by sysop name
- This function will scan the entire Fidonet nodelist, attempting to
- match the sysop's name in the nodelist to the sysop name (or fragment)
- you request.
- Search nodelist for Hardware/Software Support BBS's
- This function will scan the entire nodelist, attempting to find any
- BBS's that have "Support" listed in their entry.
- Search nodelist by city
- This function will scan the entire Fidonet nodelist, attempting to
- match the city in the nodelist to the city name (or fragment) you
- request.
- Search nodelist entries for text
- This function will scan the entire Fidonet nodelist, attempting to
- match any field in the nodelist entry to the text fragment you request.
- Toggle to long/short node display mode
- Two modes of display are available, long and short. The default is
- short, which displays the address, BBS name, sysop name, phone number
- and node status. The long format adds a second line which includes the
- city and modem information, but is slightly slower scanning the
- nodelist. Note that the display mode has no effect on the scan
- parameters.
- Return to BBS
- Fairly self-explanatory I hope.
