NAME
loadnet.tos - build a net list from dumpnet output
SYNOPSIS
loadnet [-{n}] <dumpnet-output-file>
DESCRIPTION
Loadnet takes an ASCII file of output from its companion
program, dumpnet, and automatically enters all the informa-
tion into your net list. It will enter nodes into the net
list, complete with all the configuration information, and
will also share all net rooms with the nodes. The rooms
must all exist beforehand for the automatic room sharing to
work.
Loadnet must be run from the directory containing
ctdltabl.sys.
OPTIONS
-{n} The value to use as the ID# of the last net message
transferred for any shared room, if no value is speci-
fied in the <dumpnet-output-file> for that room.
<dumpnet-output-file>
The file containing dumpnet's output. This must be
supplied.
NOTES
This program is intended to be used when a system changes
from one version of Fnordadel to another. You shouldn't
NEED to use it, because any conversion SHOULD be done for
you by a converter program, but what the heck.
You need not ensure that rooms are networked rooms before
running this program; they need only exist, and loadnet will
make them shared.
The -{n} parameter, which is something you will not normally
use, can have either a positive or negative value. If nega-
tive (i.e. --53, for example), the value is subtracted from
the highest message known to the system, to arrive at the
default message ID#.
If the value is positive, it is taken to be an absolute mes-
sage ID#.
FILES
loadnet.tos Net list loader.
#netdir\ctdlnet.sys The net list.
ctdltabl.sys The tables file.
