Hello All.

Is there a method of getting binkd for OS/2 to read the NodeList?

Best regards,
Marc

If you have perl in your binkd:

# Use perl-hook for nodelist from
# ftp://happy.kiev.ua/pub/fidosoft/mailer/binkd/nodelist.pl
#perl-hooks d:\\fido\\binkd\\nodelist.pl
#perl-var nodelist fidonet:d:\\fido\\nodelist\\nodelist.[0-9][0-9][0-9] #perl-var magichost *
#perl-dll perl58.dll # only for win32 and os/2 versions with runtime DLL load

I don't, so I'm using 'nl2binkd' bash script to convert the nodelist to 'nl2binkd.inc'.

# This script extracts nodes with binkd services from the standard Fidonet
# nodelist and creates a special nodelist for binkd.
#
# If the maddr tool is available proper IP address syntax checking is
# performed.

The nodelist.pl PERL module does work under OS/2, given a binkd version compiled with PERL support.

If you have perl in your binkd:

# Use perl-hook for nodelist from

This is the same one that is included in the binkd repository (github) as misc/nodelist.pl.

AFAIK it only supports one single nodelist.

I don't, so I'm using 'nl2binkd' bash script to convert the nodelist to 'nl2binkd.inc'.

Me too.

#!/bin/bash
#
# nl2binkd v1.09

It uses bash and awk. No idea how hard or easy it is to get it all running on OS/2

You run os/2 too?

#!/bin/bash

I am running it on os/2. We were talking about binkd/2. ;)

There are comparable perl and php scripts that do the same conversion. If there is perl or php available for OS/2 you could use one of those. Or do the conversion on a different OS, where bash/awk, perl or php is available, and transfer the result to the OS/2 machine...

Bye, Wilfred.

There are many ways to do that nodelist2binkd conversion. One way is to convert the nodelist to dns zone. I've done that too. In os/2 ofcourse. ;)
