MAKEZT(1) FNORDADEL BBS SOFTWARE MAKEZT(1)
NAME
makezt.tos - make the network loop zap table
SYNOPSIS
makezt
DESCRIPTION
Makezt creates the Fnordadel network loop zap table from
scratch, writing over top of any zap information that may
already have existed. The zap table's purpose is to refuse
replicated messages that come in from nodes anywhere on the
network. A message is defined as being a replicate if the
date in its header is earlier than the date of the latest
message received from the same node, in the same room, AND
the message's original ID# is less than the message ID# of
the latest message received.
Makezt will scan the entire message base to build the zap
table, after which time citadel.tos will maintain it
automatically (if you invoke citadel with the '+zap' option,
or if you have '#define zaploops' in your ctdlcnfg.sys).
Makezt expects to be run from the directory containing
ctdltabl.sys.
OPTIONS
None.
NOTES
As makezt runs, it will display a lot of information that
you can safely ignore. If you ever need to see what is in
the zap table, use scanzt.tos.
If the message base contains no network messages from any
other node, makezt will not do anything.
FILES
makezt.tos The zap table creator.
#netdir\ctdlloop.zap The zap table.
#msgdir\ctdlmsg.sys The message file.
ctdltabl.sys The system table file.
