ApplyList is a program used to update FidoNet Nodelist compatible system
listings. This means that it can also be used to update ANetList, 69list
or the Region 24 pointlist.

If no options are given within the commandline, the expected name for the
list is NODELIST.nnn and the expected name for difference files is
NODEDIFF.nnn.

You can change this names with using the -LIST and -DIFF options.

Examples:  -LIST=POINTS24 -DIFF=PR24DIFF
           -LIST=ANETLIST -DIFF=ANETDIFF

The first commandline is used to update the Region 24 Pointlist, the second
one for the AdultNet nodelist.

If you wish to have obsolete LISTs and DIFFs deleted, add the '-CLEAN'
option to the commandline.

ApplyList offers the ability of batch processing.

Example:  NODELIST.277,
          NODEDIFF.284 and
          NODEDIFF.291 are located in the same directory of ApplyList.

          After a run of ApplyList you have a NODELIST.291 and the DIFFs
          and NODELIST.277 are deleted (if -CLEAN is used).


ApplyList is using CRC-16 (Cyclic Redundancy Check, 16 bit) to be shure
to leave accurate information in the resulting LIST file.
