Hi All,


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/2.0/


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.
