ZONE

  This program is freeware as all of my programs are. You may use or delete
it, that's up to you. It is guaranteed to take up hard drive space and
that's about all. If you like this program and use it, GREAT! Don't
feel abligated to send money. However, if you do use it, you can send me
a short note stating that my programming isn't all in vain. My address
is listed below as well as my FidoNet address.

  What does Zone do? That's easy, it takes a raw Nodelist, as is used
in many Wide Area Networks like FidoNet, and makes files of each Zone
listed in the nodelist. For example, if you look at the current FidoNet
Nodelist, it contains 6 Zones located in different parts of the world.
The file itself is over 1 meg in length. Zone will read that file in
and creat seperate files for each zone. The output files will be called
Zone??.???, that is they will have the same extension as the nodelist.

  How do I use Zone? That's easy too! Just type "Zone" followed by the
and name of the nodelist you want broken down.
Ie. Zone c:\fd\nodelist\nodelist.255

  The output files for the example would be:
  Zone1.255
  Zone2.255
  Zone3.255
  Zone4.255
  Zone5.255
  Zone6.255

  Currently this version of Zone cannot determine the latest nodelist.
So, until I figure out an easy way to get the Julian date in C++, you
will have to provide both the nodelist name and extension...
