Hallo Albano!

The automatic point list processing only works with a point list in Z2
format, which is zone wide defined as a standard. There is at least one
tool available that can convert point lists in Z2 format, as far as I know.
I just found it:

moin Allerseits,

Eine neue Version des Pointlistkonverters PNTLCVRT habe ich heute
freigegeben:

PNTCV550.ARJ [99]*PointLists-Converter all formats v5.50

 v5.50  9.3.2005
   *  fixed strange #files handling under winnt by replacement of
      files# checking code
   *  logging and reconversion, every file will be reconverted
      in multiple sources environment
      i.e. nodelic3.log includes
           R31PNT.042    733811.02.2005,      7338F
      by conversion of multiple sources it includes
      first r24pnt, than r28pnt and than r31pnt so previous info
      is overwritten.
      Now: multiple source files added to source info log
      with path info (different sources from different paths)
      Now with multiple source files only these files will be converted
      that have been changed. Old logfile entrys will be replaced by
      newer infos.
      fixed.
   *  logging and reconversion conditions:
      changed single file in list of multiple files results in
"nothing to do"
      Now, detection of conversion condition of each single file works.
      fixed.
   *  changed/added reconvert state/mode.
      old versions only checks source file if reconvert is needed.
      new version now checks if output file exists too.
      if source not changed AND output file doesn't exist do reconvert.
      fixed.
   +  Add macro replacements for in- and outfiles
      %NET%, %REGION%, %ZONE%
      Macros replacement and filter mask follows a more
      intuitive replacement algorytm.
      i.e.  source  r24pnt.042  mask r%region%pnt.upd
            replaces r24pnt.042 to r24pnt.upd
            by direct comparison r24pnt.upd isn't same as r24pnt.042
            but in conversion mode output filename needs some
            changes
            source r24pnt.042 (boss) with mask r%region%pnt_p.upd
            converts r24pnt.042 (boss) to r24pnt_p.upd (poss)
      for more infos about filter mask and samples read docu
      12.1, Multiple filemasks conversion
   i  Major UPDCHCK version numbering now follows PNTLCVRT
      numbering and vv.
   +  new index structure includes now _ALL_ nodelist entrys.
      addtl. flag field allows extended reporting information
      of unlisted/unindexed nodes. Replaces 5.04 logging workaround.
      New Index Level: G
      relates to UPDCHCK >= v5.50



regards, uli   ;-)

 ADM>  Perfect. And what is "INFO ABOUT FIDO, HELP, ..." ->
"OTHER (ALT-4)"
 ADM> for?

If you have the Fido-Package deluxe CD, or the newer WIF-CD (WIF = What Is
Fido, www.was-ist-fido.de), the cover is on www.fido-deluxe.de.vu on the
top, and if it is in your cd/dvd drive, you can open some more Fido related
documents. There are pictures from Fido meetings, Fido texts etc. Not very
comfortable, just the basics for those who can't even browse a CD-Rom and
open the files manually... Probably the least used function...

 ADM> Now I have read there are some lines in a text file in Spanish in the
 ADM> FPD zip file :) You are right there are a lot of similar words in
 ADM> those 4 languages.

You mean info.txt? I have this translation from you if I remember correctly. :)

 ADM>  I only know Spanish and my English is quite bad.

No, it's good, we can communicate together quite well, that's great!


 ADM>  Well, it's difficult. Perhaps FPD could ask for the magic file ECHOLIST
 ADM> and for those node who don't have that MAGIC if FPD would allow to import
 ADM> an echolist (from a web or file) would be a good idea. What do you think?

As I got to know, there are several nodes who have the magic ECHOLIST, but
in the archive there are several lists from everything they offer (not
neccissarily only Fido). This seems too unreliable. But the solution seems
relatively easy. I can send a netmail message to AreaFix and request %list
- when that mail arrives, I can automatically detect it and get the area
names. Of course, there is no sorting in regional and local areas, then -
for that the node needs the non-standard file magics I use for FPD...

I tell you when it's ready to test.

Maybe we can transfer our discussion in the international (English) area
FUTURE4FIDO and maybe even forward the recent netmails there, so that
others know what's going on and help us with their opinions? Only if you
like so.


See ya,
