GENERAL ARTICLES
=================================================================
An UTF-8 nodelist. And now what?
By Michiel van der Vlist, 2:280/5555
As you may or may not know, ZC2 in cooperation with some Z2 RCs,
distributes an UTF-8 encoded nodelist in addition to the weekly and
daily ASCII encoded lists. It is distributed on a daily basis in the
file area DAILYUTF.
The project started a couple of years ago and took a slow start.
Presently only R28 and R56 participate actively by submitting an UTF-8
encoded segment. The number of regions participating passively is
unknown.
The UTF-8 nodelist offers sysops the opportunity to have their names,
their loaction and the name of their system listed as spelled in the
alfabet of their native language.
I am often asked "what use is an UTF-8 encoded nodelist, when there is
hardly any FTN sofware around that can handle it?" This article is
about how I deal with the UTF-8 nodelist in my system. I hope it will
be a guideline for others.
Of the the software I use: binkd, Fmail and Golded, only Golded is
relevant. Binkd and Fmail are character encoding agnostic with regard
to the nodelist. But Golded uses the nodelist as a lookup data base
and it it looks at the names of the sysops.
Golded can not deal directly with UTF-8. Even worse, it has the nasty
habit - at least the Windows version - of disregarding the active
codepage and always forcing the code page that was in effect at
system start up. In my case CP850. So I have no choice but - for
better or worse - to convert to CP850 whatever I offer to Golded's
nodelist compiler.
For this I use two commonly available utilities: sed and iconv. Sed is
a so called serial or stream editor. It converts streams of bytes into
something else. I this case I use it to convert characters not present
in CP850 to something else. Sed is driven bij a script in this case
called to850.scr
Here is the line in the batch file that is called when DILYUTF.ddd
comes in:
Daynbr Sed -f to850.scr dailyutf.@### >dailyutf.998
Daynbr is the win32 version of the famous daynbr.com by Ben Baker.
Here is the content of to850.scr:
s/▀Ö╖Γ╖▀Ö╖Γ╢/ij/g
s/▀Ö╖Γ╖▀Ö╖Öα/IJ/g
FIDONEWS 33-40 Page 2 3 Oct 2016
s/Γéü/EUR/g
Oops, that looks nasty. It looks OK when viewed in in UTF-8
environment, but unfortunately Fidonews can not deal with UTF-8 yet,
so it does no look so good. What is betweem the first slashes in the
first line is the two byte UTF-8 code for the Dutch concatenated 'ij'
as viewed in CP850. This translates the Dutch concatenated 'ij'into
the diftong 'ij'. The second line does the same for the comapnion
capital.
The third line translates the Euro currency symbol into "EUR". Those
are all the characters that I presently expect in the UTF-8 nodelist
that do not fit into CP850.
The next line in the batch file calls iconv. Iconv is a character code
conversion utility. It converts files from one character encoding
scheme to another. Of course it will only work properly if the
characters to bve converted are present in the target encoding set.
Oh, wait, I first introduce a 2 second delay. To make sure that the
next file, DAILYUTF.999 has a later time stamp then DAILYUTF.998.
That way Golded's nodelist compiler sees it as "the latest".
ping -n 2 loopback
Iconv -c -f utf-8 -t cp850 dailyutf.998 >dailyutf.999
cd \fido\golded
gncyg -f -d
The -f tells golded to do a forced compile and the -d tells it to
remove duplicate entries. There will be a lot as I compile both the
ASCII nodelist and the UTF-8 noelist
In golded's config I have this for the nodelist section:
NODEPATH d:\fido\nodelist\
NODELIST d:\fido\\nodelist\dailyutf.*
NODELIST d:\fido\nodelist\dailylst.*
NODELIST d:\fido\z2pnt\z2pnt.*
As a result I can now type either "schroeter" or "schröter" in the To:
field of a message in Golded and the nodelist lookup of Golded will
give me the node numbers of Ullrich Schroeter or Ullrich Schröter.
This is an ongoing project. When our friends in Eastern Europe join
the project, things get more complicated. I do not yet know how to
deal with that. If and when it happens and I find a workaround, that
may trigger a follow up article.

PO4 Prefers Out on 4 (Node can make outgoing IPv6 calls,
but is configured to try IPv4 first)
6DWN The IPv6 connectivity of this node is temporarely down.
DOWN This node is temporarely down for both IPv4 and IPv6
PM Prospective Member. The node has demonstrated IPv6
capability but is not yet listed in de Fidonet nodelist.
Notes:
To make an IPv6 connection to a node connected via 6to4 tunneling
one may have to force the mailer into IPv6 (-6 option in binkd's
node config). If the destination address is a 6to4 tunnel address
(2002::/16) Windows defaults to IPv4 if an IPv4 address is present.

JAMNNTPD SERVERS LIST
=================================================================
The Johan Billing JamNNTPd project
This is a list of known JamNNTPd servers working. They are essentially
the modern version of Bulletin Board Systems.
You connect to them using the newsreader of your choice and you don't
need any other software installed on your computer -- regardless of
operating system -- but that favourite mail client of yours.
Even smart phones can handle this, giving you the opportunity to get
your daily doses of fidonet on the bus, tram or train on the way to
your job, school or whatever.

How to Submit an Article
If you wish to submit an article for inclusion in the Fidonews, here
are some guidelines, if you send it as an attached file; the preferred
method if you want reasonable control over how the published article
will appear in the Fidonews:
a) Plain text. If you could type it on your keyboard, it's probably
quite OK. No line may be longer than 70 characters.
b) Put a title to the article. Put the title in two times. The first
time, on the first line, with an * before it. The second time, on
the second line, without the * and centered. This will help in the
format since the title with the * is removed and used in the index,
the second line will become the headline. On the third line, put
your name and FidoNet address, present or former. If former, you
may want to add some other address where you can be reached for
personal comments.
c) Deadline for article submission is Sunday, 22:00 UTC.
Help the Editor by following the above guides. Below are some subjects
and the file extension for the article as set in the configuration
file for the making of the Fidonews. Please help by putting the file
extension of the correct subject on the file name if known.
Ideas for Subject areas:
Subject File | Subject File
----------------------------------|----------------------------------
From the *C's *.css | Rebuttals to articles *.reb
Fidonet Regional News *.reg | Fidonet Net News *.net
Retractions *.rtx | General Fidonet Articles *.art
Guest Editorial *.gue | Fidonet Current Events *.cur
Fidonet Interviews *.inv | Fidonet Software Reviews *.rev
Fidonet Web Page Reviews *.web | Fidonet Notices *.not
Getting Fidonet Technical *.ftc | Question Of The Week *.que

Fidonet's Int. Kitchen *.rec | Poet's Corner *.poe
Clean Humor & Jokes *.jok | Other Stuff *.oth
Fidonet Classified Ads *.ads | Corrections *.cor
Best of Fidonet *.bof | Letters to the Editor *.let
If you don't know or are not sure, send the article anyway. Put a .TXT
on it and I'll try to figure out where it should be in the Fidonews.
If you follow these simple guidelines, there should be little problem
in getting your article published. If your submission is too far out
of specs for the Fidonews, it will be returned to you and/or a message
sent informing you of the problem. This DOES NOT mean that your
article is not accepted. It means that there is something in it that I
can not fix and I need your help on it.

Send articles via e-mail or netmail, file attach or message to:
Björn Felten
Fidonet 2:2/2 or 2:203/0
E-Mail b @ felten dot se
Skype file bfelten
IMPORTANT! If you send the article via e-mail, make sure you put the
word "fidonews" somewhere in the subject line! That way it
will always pass the spam filter, ending up in the proper
folder.
Please include a message, telling me that you have sent an article.
That way I will know to look for it.
