    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.
