NAME

       crashlist - Compile a CrashMail nodelist

SYNOPSIS

       crashlist dir

DESCRIPTION

       Builds an index for the nodelists in the specified directory (or in the current directory if no directory
       is  specified).  To find out what nodelists to read, CrashList uses a file called cmnodelist.prefs in the
       nodelist directory. The format of this file is as follows:

       <nodelist name> [<default zone>]

       As the name of the nodelist, you can either specify the full name of the nodelist or just the  base  name
       of  the  nodelist  (without  .xxx at the end).  If you just specify the base name, CrashList will use the
       latest nodelist with that name (selected by date, not the extension). A default  zone  can  be  used  for
       regional  nodelists  without  a  Zone line. All lines beginning with a semicolon are treated as comments.
       Pointlists should be in BinkleyTerm format and should be specified after the real nodelists.
