Hi All,


This is a bug fix release for the 2.0 beta, that has the following changes:

  - A lot of code refactoring.
  - The code now needs to be compiled in ISO C99 standard mode (or later).
  - "Warning: [inlist] is older than [maxdays] days." is only a warning,
    not a reason to stop processing.
  - Fixed bug in fnsplit routine.
  - Ignore ^Z character (end of file) in input files.
  - Fixed bug when input file with wildcard chars has no directory part.


What it is:
-----------

PLMake compiles a St. Louis (Boss) style pointlist from segments.

It is a FidoNet-technology utility to generate a net- regional- or zonal
pointlist in the 'Boss' variant of the extended St. Louis format, from list
segments provided by a lower coordinator or boss system operators.
Also an existing pointlist can be reformatted and if numeric extensions are
used for the names, diff files can be generated.


Why:
----

Since I'm the new RPK for Region 28, and I wanted to automate the generating of
the region pointlist segment on my linux system. I decided to convert the
existing DOS version of PLMake 1.06 by Michiel van der Vlist (of which the C
source was available) to Linux. This release is the result of that. Maybe it is
usefull to other [NRZ]PK's?


Where:
------

A binary download for Windows can be found here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/plmake/files/PLMake/2.1/


Building:
---------

The linux version, you need to build yourself. It's not difficult! ;-)
You need the basic set of development tools for it.

These are the steps/commands:

# git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/plmake/code plmake
# cd plmake
# mkdir cmake-build
# cd cmake-build
# cmake ..
# make

If you need help with this, or want a linux binary, please let me know.


Bye, Wilfred.
