FNLScan v0.98ß
Introduction:
FNLScan facilitates the search of the Fidonet nodelist for a variety of
criteria, enabling you to quickly and easily find other BBS systems in the
Fidonet network.
General Operation:
Select an option from the main menu (the options are described in more
detail below). Enter the parameter that you want to search for; in the case
of text searches, it is not necessary to enter the entire text. A fragment
of a name or phrase is all that is required.
At any time during the search routine, you can stop the scanning by
pressing Ctrl-X or Ctrl-K.
Options:
Search nodelist by BBS name
This function will scan the entire Fidonet nodelist, attempting to
match the BBS name in the nodelist to the BBS name (or fragment) you
request.
Search nodelist by sysop name
This function will scan the entire Fidonet nodelist, attempting to
match the sysop's name in the nodelist to the sysop name (or fragment)
you request.
Search nodelist by city
This function will scan the entire Fidonet nodelist, attempting to
match the city in the nodelist to the city name (or fragment) you
request.
Search nodelist by area code
This function will scan the entire Fidonet nodelist, attempting to
match the area code of the phone numbers in the nodelist to the area
code you request.
Search nodelist by zone and net
This function will scan the entire Fidonet nodelist, attempting to
match the network in the nodelist to the network you defined by zone
and net number.
Search nodelist entries for text
This function will scan the entire Fidonet nodelist, attempting to
match any field in the nodelist entry to the text fragment you request.
Toggle to long/short node display mode
Two modes of display are available, long and short. The default is
short, which displays the address, BBS name, sysop name, phone number
and node status. The long format adds a second line which includes the
city and modem information, but is slightly slower scanning the
nodelist. Note that the display mode has no effect on the scan
parameters.
Return to BBS
Fairly self-explanatory.
