INTRO:
======
You can request a list with all points of the 24-region called 24-
pointlist.
There are many utilities to compile this list for example PN24USER by
Gnther Paczia. This creates a userlist for the MsgReader LED. But it can
only compile a maximum of 5000 systems, no information about nodes will
be created and some systems will not be converted.
PN24CONV allows you to compile a unlimited number of systems and all
entries will be converted correctly. Also a 4D-Pointlist can be
converted.
How to start PN24CONV:
======================
PN24CONV <s|l> <src> <dst> [<zone>]
<s> - Create a user list in the short format.
<l> - Create a user list in the long (more human friendly) format.
<src> - The pointlist (e.g. "C:\FIDO\POINTS24.*").
<dst> - The userlist for the LED (e.g. "C:\FIDO\PN24USER.LST").
<zone> - Add zone <zone> to output (optional).
INTERNA:
========
The number of pointsystems is unlimited.
The output is not sorted (PN24LIST creates a sorted list).
3D-pointlist format:
====================
Host,<-1->,<net/node>,<-2->,<name>,...
,<point>,<-3->,<-2->,<name>,...
[...]
4D-pointlist format:
====================
Boss,<zone:net/node>
,<point>,<-3->,<-2->,<name>,...
[...]
Not used entries:
=================
<-1-> - Fakenet
<-2-> - City
<-3-> - System
History:
========
V1.0 - First official version.
V1.1 - 4D-pointlists can be compiled.
V1.2 - Add zone to output.
V1.3 - A little bit optimized.
