.TH CRASHLIST 1 1999-08-01 "Johan Billing" "CrashMail"
.SH NAME
crashlist \- Compile a CrashMail nodelist
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B crashlist
dir
.SH DESCRIPTION
Builds an index for the nodelists in the specified directory (or in the
current directory if no directory is specified). To find out what
nodelists to read, CrashList uses a file called cmnodelist.prefs in the
nodelist directory. The format of this file is as follows:
.PP
<nodelist name> [<default zone>]
.PP
As the name of the nodelist, you can either specify the full name of the
nodelist or just the base name of the nodelist (without .xxx at the end).
If you just specify the base name, CrashList will use the latest nodelist
with that name (selected by date, not the extension). A default zone can
be used for regional nodelists without a Zone line. All lines beginning
with a semicolon are treated as comments. Pointlists should be in
BinkleyTerm format and should be specified after the real nodelists.
