1.3 is the most recent... jerry isn't in fidonet any more and this is all we
have... the script /should/ already be in the I-BINKD area since at least
2007... perhaps it should be hatched with the replace verb so that all
connected systems will get it and those that didn't get it the first time
around will get it this time around??

if you are in more than one FTN network, you'll run it for each other FTN
nodelist with its own output file names... then include them like the others...

eg:
perl binkd_nodelistupdater.pl %ftn/nodelist.%DOY %ftn/fidonet.bink
%ftn/fidonet.except
perl binkd_nodelistupdater.pl %ftn/agoranet.%DOY %ftn/agoranet.bink
%ftn/agoranet.except
perl binkd_nodelistupdater.pl %ftn/dbnet.%DOY %ftn/dbnet.bink %ftn/dbnet.except
perl binkd_nodelistupdater.pl %ftn/gatornet.%DOY %ftn/gatornet.bink
%ftn/gatornet.except


in binkd.conf

#defnode * -nr
include ftn/fidonet.bink
include ftn/agoranet.bink
include ftn/dbnet.bink
include ftn/gatornet.bink
include myconnections.cfg
