*********************************************
** T.A.G. Nodelist Indexer (NLINDEX) **
** Copyright (c) 1992-1993 The T.A.G. Team **
*********************************************
This package includes the T.A.G. Nodelist Index Compiler NLINDEX.
T.A.G. does not use a compiled nodelist, instead it reads the raw
nodelist file(s) directly using a relatively small index file. A
simple configuration file is used to specify the cost file, which
zones and nets should be compiled into the index, and the location and
domain of each raw nodelist file.
Multiple zones (1 through 65535), domains, and nodelist files are
completely supported.
*** NLINDEX.CFG Configuration File Format ***
The configuration file is in standard ASCII format and may contain
lines beginning with the following:
; This line indicates a comment. The rest of the
line is ignored.
Costs This line is followed by the complete path and
filename of the cost definition file. This file
should be in ParseList/FrontDoor "COST" compatible
format. NLINDEX will skip other configuration
information in the file. A sample of this file is
included below:
COST 50 300
1-313-244 0
1-313-258 0
1-313-264 0
1-313-265 0

1-313-280 0

IncludeZones This line is followed by a list of the zones to
compile into T.A.G.'s index. Zones are specified
by number (1,2,6) or ranges (1-3,6) separated by
commas. Multiple zone restriction lines are
allowed. This is an optional line.
IncludeNets This line is followed by a list of the nets to
compile into T.A.G.'s index. Nets are specified
by number (120,2410) or ranges (120-130,2410)
separated by commas. Multiple net restriction
lines are allowed. This is an optional line.
NodeList This line is followed by two fields separated by
at least on space. The first is the domain in
which the nodelist is located. The second is the
complete path and file name with the extension to
the raw nodelist. NLINDEX automatically searches
for the latest "<filename>.###" raw nodelist file.
Multiple nodelist restriction lines are allowed.
