MAKENL(1)		    General Commands Manual		     MAKENL(1)

NAME
       makenl -	Fido/FTN nodelist processing program.

SYNOPSIS
       makenl [<configfile>][-p|-t][-m[=<nodelist>]][-n=<netname>][-d]

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page	briefly	documents the makenl command.

       makenl is a program that	is used	to process Fido/FTN nodelists for sub-
       mission	to coordinators	and/or for creation of nodelist	files for dis-
       tribution. It is	a near drop-in replacement for an  existing  installa-
       tion of MakeNL.

OPTIONS
       A summary of options is included	below.

       -p, -process
	      Operate  in  Process  mode, overriding Process statement in mak-
	      enl.ctl.

       -t, -test
	      Operate in Test mode even	on the normal process day.

       -m, -merge
	      Merge your updated nodelist segment with an  existing  distribu-
	      tion  nodelist  to  produce a temporary nodelist containing your
	      updates.

       -n, -name
	      Specialized cosmetic switch. When	you make a composite nodelist,
	      the generated list begins, by default, with the  line  "Nodelist
	      for  ...". The -name switch may be used to insert	a network name
	      in front of the first word in that line. If  the	specified  re-
	      placement	name contains spaces, the entire parameter must	be en-
	      closed in	quotes.

       -d, -debug
	      Enable debugging output for some functions.

       -c, -credits
	      Who made this program possible.

       -h     Show summary of options.

       The  program  is	 documented  more  fully  in  the files	makenl.txt.gz,
       README.gz, & changelog.gz;  all in the /usr/share/doc/makenl directory.

FILES
       Examples	of these files can be found in the /usr/share/doc/makenl/exam-
       ples directory.

       makenl.ctl
	      Standard name for	the required  makenl  configuration  file:  it
	      will look	for this file in the current directory if the filename
	      and path for it is not given on the command line.

       cpyright.txt
	      Optional copyright notice	for the	nodelist file being created.

       epilog.txt
	      Optional	file  containing  text	intended  for  the  end	of the
	      nodelist file being created.

       prolog.txt
	      Optional file containing text intended for the beginning of  the
	      nodelist file being created.
