Proposal for a new Nodelist-Compiler (c) St.Slabihoud
=======================================================
1.Why do we need a new nodelist compiler?
When you use BTNC to compile an 1.2 mb nodelist you will get
an aprox. 2 mb (binary styled) nodelist file. So you need
aprox. 3.2 mb for both nodelists ;-(
2.What do you propose?
I propose to use an index file to access the raw (uncompiled) nodelist.
3.How much hd space does it use?
The index file for an 1.2 mb nodelist only needs 250 kb!
4.Does is work with multiple nodelists?
Yes, of course!
I have included two demonstration programs:
MKRAWIDX <nodelist1> [<nodelist2> [...]]
GETRAWNL <4d address>
Example:
If you want to create an index file for the Fido AND NeST-Nodelist
type following:
MKRAWIDX D:\NL\NODELIST.069 D:\NL\NEST.069
This will create an index file called NODELIST.RDX (Raw-Index).
To search an address type following:
GETRAWNL 90:400/410
Note: Searching is *NOT* very fast, because binary-search is
*NOT* yet implemented!
