Announcing: SysNL v3.01
|
||
|
||
"The fastest nodelist utility on the planet, period."
|
||
|
||
Constellation Software, 1:250/714.0@FidoNet, 89:480/210.0@Imex
|
||
|
||
With the FidoNet nodelist hitting almost half a meg, it is taking
|
||
longer and longer to process the darn thing. Saving a few
|
||
seconds here and there is all you used get if you switched
|
||
processors. I'd like to present a viable alternative.
|
||
|
||
To get you to switch compilers, you want something that makes a
|
||
REAL difference in your compilation time. From what I have
|
||
heard, Scott Samet's XlaxNode is the fastest around here. Could
|
||
I get you to switch to a compiler if it was FOUR TIMES AS FAST AS
|
||
XLAXNODE? Or maybe SIX times as fast as ParseLst...? TEN TIMES
|
||
AS FAST AS XLATLIST?
|
||
|
||
Then I'd like to introduce you to SysNL v3.01. Nodelist
|
||
processing in the modern age.
|
||
|
||
SysNL is optimised for speed. A lot of frills have been taken
|
||
out of the code. It is small, and tight. SysNL uses more ASM
|
||
code than any other compiler, and all the high-level language
|
||
code in it has been written with speed in mind.
|
||
|
||
SysNL can compile QuickBBS and Version 5 nodelists from either a
|
||
raw St. Louis nodelist file, or from a NodeList.Bbs/Fon
|
||
combination. SysNL can also create NodeList.Bbs and
|
||
Nodelist.Fon. SysNL is also the most accurate Version 6 compiler
|
||
around. It is the only processor to support the most recent Opus
|
||
v1.1x Version 6 ZMH flags. ParseLst does not.
|
||
|
||
SysNL v3.01 is also the only nodelist compiler that supports the
|
||
SEAdog<tm> v4.51 nodelist. ParseLst does not. XlaxNode does
|
||
not. As well, SysNL will also compile the SEAdog<tm> v4.10 and
|
||
TBBS v2.0 nodelists. Faster than anything else.
|
||
|
||
SysNL checks nodelist CRCs faster than any other utility. A
|
||
16-bit CRC goes through at the rate of 30-35K a second, faster
|
||
than CRCnode or any other such utility you may have been using.
|
||
|
||
SysNL merges nodelists and diff files. Fast. Automatically. So
|
||
you don't have to worry what about what your hub or NC sends you.
|
||
SysNL finds the newest, and gets it done quickly.
|
||
|
||
SysNL allows you to edit your nodelist. If you are an NC or a
|
||
Hub, you can use its full-screen ANSI nodelist editor to mani-
|
||
pulate your nodelist segment. If you are an NC, RC or ZC, SysNL
|
||
can easily merge all the updatres you get into one nodelist.
|
||
Faster than MakeNL. And MakeNL can't give you a visual ANSI-
|
||
compatible full-color editor, with complete nodelist error
|
||
FidoNews 6-50 Page 2 11 Dec 1989
|
||
|
||
|
||
checking.
|
||
|
||
Right now, all you have gotten is hot air. Let me provide some
|
||
cold and rather sobering figures to back me up. The figures are:
|
||
The first is the time and the second is processing rate in bytes
|
||
per second. All tests were done on a 6MhZ IBM AT, with 512K of
|
||
150ns RAM, and a Rodine Type 20 30meg HD. Times may vary, due to
|
||
your hardware, and your setup.
|
||
|
||
IMEXLIST.307 November 3rd, 1989 RCSA/AlterNet nodelist.
|
||
Size of Imexlist.307: 45 892 bytes.
|
||
|
||
Scan nodelist = Compile in wrong zone ie. Do not process any
|
||
entries.
|
||
-#########- = Xlatlist<tm> cannot create a Version 6 list.
|
||
|
||
Compiled into: NodeList.Bbs Version 6 Scan nodelist
|
||
|
||
ParseLst v1.30: 18.7 / 2454 14.2 / 3232 11.8 / 3889
|
||
SysNL v3.01: 5.2 / 8825 6.1 / 7523 3.9 / 11767
|
||
Xlatlist v2.90: 30.8 / 1490 -#########- 15.1 / 3039
|
||
Xlaxnode v2.31: 14.5 / 3165 16.1 / 2851 11.9 / 3856
|
||
|
||
Now, let's try it on something a little bit bigger. Errors will
|
||
have been made in the timing of such a small 44K nodelist; let's
|
||
try a 480K one.
|
||
|
||
NODELIST.237 August 25th, 1989 FidoNet nodelist.
|
||
Size of Nodelist.237: 478 164 bytes.
|
||
|
||
All compilers were configured as being in Zone 1.
|
||
|
||
Compiled into: NodeList.Bbs Version 6 Scan nodelist
|
||
|
||
ParseLst v1.30: 187.9 / 2545 131.1 / 3647 111.7 / 4191
|
||
SysNL v2.65: 81.8 / 5846 83.3 / 5740 48.1 / 9941
|
||
SysNL v3.01: 33.8 / 14147 35.0 / 13662 13.8 / 34650
|
||
Xlatlist v2.90: 325.2 / 1470 -##########- 110.6 / 4323
|
||
Xlaxnode v2.31: 115.8 / 4129 129.8 / 3684 102.2 / 4679
|
||
|
||
As you can see, SysNL v3.01 beats all challengers, including
|
||
v2.65, and also Xlaxnode v2.31. Now we move to the area of CRC
|
||
checks. Again we use our FidoNet nodelist #237, and combat SysNL
|
||
against CRCnode.
|
||
|
||
SysNL v3.01: 21.1 sec / 22662 bytes per sec
|
||
CRCnode v1.00: 27.8 sec / 17200 bytes per sec
|
||
|
||
Again, SysNL reigns supreme. But SysNL can also make Version 5,
|
||
Version 6, and QuickBBS nodelists from a Nodelist.Bbs/Fon combin-
|
||
ation. Let's sic SysNL on OpusNode and Qnode and see what
|
||
happens.
|
||
|
||
FidoNews 6-50 Page 3 11 Dec 1989

||
|
||
|
||
Size of NodeList.Bbs (NodeList.237/SysNL v3.01): 254 572 bytes.
|
||
|
||
SysNL v3.01 (QBBS): 21.2 / 12008
|
||
SysNL v3.01 (Ver5): 20.1 / 12665
|
||
Qnode v2.00: 125.7 / 2025
|
||
OpusNode v1.4.6: 75.4 / 3376
|
||
|
||
No matter what your nodelist processor is, SysNL is faster. Why
|
||
not switch to it right now? It's available on the SDS, and also
|
||
at 1:250/714 as SYSNL. An SFX version is also available here as

2:256/117
|
||
|
||
I couldn't think of a sensible title for what is, I hope, going
|
||
to be a regular contribution from Zone 2. Not that I represent
|
||
Zone 2 on any way. My BBS is a node. In the words of technical
|
||
standards documentation - the lowest form of address.
|
||
|
||
My node came into the network a few weeks ago after a pause of
|
||
almost a year not being involved with BBS's at all. So the first
|
||
job was to download this years' back issues of FidoNews from my
|
||
Host.
|
||
|
||
Much to my shock I read a few articles from people explaining
|
||
that FidoNews was no longer relevant anymore. According to these
|
||
self-proclaimed guardians of access to exclusive information, the
|
||
REAL NEWS comes in Echomail.
|
||
|
||
At best Echomail is a genuine advance in communication. At its
|
||
worst Echomail encourages the unthinking response of simply
|
||
hitting 'R' on the keyboard to reply to the last 'flame'.
|
||
|
||
Echomail also has a tendency to be a temporary medium. How many
|
||
SysOps really read the megabytes of information floating around
|
||
the net. We are hopefully more selective than that. We take some
|
||
Echos for our users, some for our specialised interests and some
|
||
to keep up to date with our particular concerns in the net.
|
||
|
||
Rarely does a SysOp take every Echo.
|
||
|
||
Echomail focuses widely on the particular as if to satisify a
|
||
demand to discuss more and more about less and less. Thus, like
|
||
Sheep, we are led into ever increasing arguement without really
|
||
addressing major issues.
|
||
|
||
However I am not here to throw my hands up and condem Echomail
|
||
for destroying the moral fibre of arguement. It is my purpose to
|
||
emphasise that by its very nature Echomail has a tendency to the
|
||
specific, addressing the problem immediately, limiting itself to
|
||
short responses, and within the week disappears into a deleted
|
||
file on many a hard disk.
|
||
|
||
Yet for this temporary medium we employ 'backbones', 'hubs', and
|
||
'co-ordinators'. We spend hours on discussion and Echomail itself
|
||
generates a political hierachy of distribution, rules and costs.
|
||
|
||
FidoNews 6-50 Page 5 11 Dec 1989
|
||
|
||
|
||
The volume of Echomail causes as many worrys as it attempts to
|
||
solve. We become obsessed with how long Echomail should be held
|
||
before it's deleted, do we censor Echomail, and can Hosts afford
|
||
to buy a 100 megabyte hard disk to cope with Echomail traffic.
|
||
|
||
Amongst all this the balance of the network itself appears to
|
||
have gone. I feel very strongly that the case needs to be put for
|
||
FidoNews to bring people back together.
|
||
|
||
FidoNews should be the place where we abandon the temporary,
|
||
write for a larger audience, and make sure every SysOp can read
|
||
FidoNews. It is my view, in my small backwater of Zone 2, that my
|
||
Host should concentrate his efforts on getting me FidoNews at the
|
||
expense of Echomail. Doing this in every net would restore much
|
||
of the balance to the network as a whole and produce a higher
|
||
level of debate about the issues facing us all.
|
||
|
||
PC-Browse
|
||
---------
|
||
|
||
On a totally different topic I have just bought a really neat
|
||
little program from Quicksoft called PC-Browse. In essence it's a
|
||
lot like the LIST utility which allows you to view files. However
|
||
it also has the added advantage that it can be made memory
|
||
resident.
|
||
|
||
So I can read this weeks' FidoNews with PC-Browse and, if I need
|
||
to, flip into a word processing session at the touch of a hot-
|
||
key. The overall result is a pleasant use of the 60K of memory
|
||
needed to run the program.
|
||
|
||
However it does much more than this. You can create PC-Browse
|
||
applications in a hyper-text environment. You can mark entries
|
||
for quick access, even run a program from inside PC-Browse. The
|
||
capability to cut and paste makes it ideal for calling up mames
|
||
and addresses from inside other applications. All in all a very
|
||
good buy.
|
||
|
||
The program is marketed as Shareware in the USA, New Zealand, and
|
||
Australia. For reasons of their own Quicksoft have excluded the
|
||
UK as a Shareware zone.
|
||
|
||
