INTRO:
======

You  can  request  a  list with all points of  the  24-region  called  24-
pointlist.

There  are  many utilities to compile this list for  example  PN24USER  by 
Gnther Paczia.  This creates a userlist for the MsgReader LED. But it can 
only  compile a maximum of 5000 systems,  no information about nodes  will 
be created and some systems will not be converted.

PN24CONV  allows  you  to compile a unlimited number of  systems  and  all 
entries  will  be  converted  correctly.   Also  a  4D-Pointlist  can   be 
converted.


How to start PN24CONV:
======================

PN24CONV <s|l> <src> <dst> [<zone>]

  <s>  -  Create a user list in the short format.
  <l>  -  Create a user list in the long (more human friendly) format.
<src>  -  The pointlist (e.g. "C:\FIDO\POINTS24.*").
<dst>  -  The userlist for the LED (e.g. "C:\FIDO\PN24USER.LST").
<zone> -  Add zone <zone> to output (optional).



INTERNA:
========

The number of pointsystems is unlimited.
The output is not sorted (PN24LIST creates a sorted list).

3D-pointlist format:
====================
Host,<-1->,<net/node>,<-2->,<name>,...
,<point>,<-3->,<-2->,<name>,...
[...]

4D-pointlist format:
====================
Boss,<zone:net/node>
,<point>,<-3->,<-2->,<name>,...
[...]

Not used entries:
=================
<-1-> - Fakenet
<-2-> - City
<-3-> - System


History:
========
 V1.0 - First official version.
 V1.1 - 4D-pointlists can be compiled.
 V1.2 - Add zone to output.
