  • Binkd for OS/2 and NodeList

    Is there a method of getting binkd for OS/2 to read the NodeList?

    If you have perl in your binkd:

    # Use perl-hook for nodelist from
    # ftp://happy.kiev.ua/pub/fidosoft/mailer/binkd/nodelist.pl

    This is the same one that is included in the binkd repository (github) as misc/nodelist.pl.

    AFAIK it only supports one single nodelist.

    I don't, so I'm using 'nl2binkd' bash script to convert the nodelist to 'nl2binkd.inc'.

    Me too.

    #!/bin/bash
    #
    # nl2binkd v1.09

    It uses bash and awk. No idea how hard or easy it is to get it all running on OS/2

    You run os/2 too?

    #!/bin/bash

    I am running it on os/2. We were talking about binkd/2. ;)

    There are comparable perl and php scripts that do the same conversion. If there is perl or php available for OS/2 you could use one of those. Or do the conversion on a different OS, where bash/awk, perl or php is available, and transfer the result to the OS/2 machine...

    Bye, Wilfred.

    There are many ways to do that nodelist2binkd conversion. One way is to convert the nodelist to dns zone. I've done that too. In os/2 ofcourse. ;)
