      NA> It may be a good idea to scrap the "Hub" part of your report or at least       NA> make it an option in whatever this program is that you wrote.               As always, I appreciate your knowledge and feedback. As the subject line       states, I cloned Nodelrpt by K.G. Pace - part of cloning is including all       functionality of the orginal program. Now, everything I write (Fido-oriented)       is Open Source, MIT licensed. People can produce whatever variation they would       like. In this case, my goal is to bring back many of the 1992->1999 utilities       and reports that were 8bit and 16bit. This report engine was so old, it was       released as a DOS .COM binary instead of .EXE.               Usefulness? I do not care personally. It is just allowing me to get my hands       wet and again "reboot" some of the old utilities that were popular - or at       least published. I found this one in an email between Lisa Gronk and Randy Bush        in 1995. Personally, I find it useful to see how many nodes are in each region        in the US, the rest was just "work". ;-)               I will make Hubs a command line switch when I release this. I have ran it on 12        years of node lists for Fidonet, and on 7 or 8 other networks. Many of the       non-Fido do not even leverage Regions. . . just Zone, Hosts and Blank (nodes).               Ozz               --- dBridge & Rhenium        * Origin: RVA Fido Support - ExchangeBBS.com, ModernPascal.com (1:275/362)    |
