Quick start and notes.  Formal help and doc's will be made available
at a later date.

1. THE V7NL.DLL IS NOT COMPATABLE WITH THAT DISTRIBUTED WITH SOB
   V1.00 MAKE SURE THIS ON IS PLACED IN A SEPERATE DIRECTORY. DO NOT
   HAVE SOBNLE AND SOB ACTIVE AT THE SAME TIME BECAUSE OF THE
   DIFFERENCES IN THE TWO DLL FILES. The executable & DLL is a bit bloated
   as was compiled with the debug option on. Release code will be 
   smaller.

2. When the nodelist editor is complete, SOB will be updated to use
   the new V7NL.DLL and both will share the same ini file.  At the 
   same time, I will release documentation for using the DLL.

3. In the configuration menu, the nodelist name is the name your
   compiler prepends to the .NDX and .DAT.  Typically this name is
   NODEX.  If you enter a home zone and net, a list of the nodes in
   that net will be created.  The home zone and node is not
   mandatory.

4. When you delete or update a node, and that node appears in more 
   than one window, each of those windows will have that node
   deleted, or reflect the changes made.  If you add a node, and 
   there is a window open for the new nodes net, the new node will 
   appear in it's net window.

5. There will only be one instance of an Admin window per nodelist.

6. Double clicking on a Zone in the Admin window will open another
   window listing the "Zone" independent nodes for that zone.  

7. Double clicking on a Region in the Admin window will open another
   window listing the "Region" independent nodes for that region.

8. Double clicking on a nodes entry with the left mouse button will 
   invoke the edit dialog.

9. Pressing the right mouse button on a nodes entry will cause a 
   popup menu to display.  This popup menu allows you to enter a
   new node, edit or delete the node you clicked on, or refresh the
   list of nodes in the list.

10. Optimized non-index (ie; system name, location, etc...) searches.
   On my system SOB took approx 35 secs, to search the entire
   nodelist. This has been improved to take only 10 seconds.

11. Option to select a font to be used in the list windows.

Suggestion and bug reports are most welcome either via netmail or
OS2BBS echo.

I am still looking for volunteers to come up with some ICONS for me.
When it comes to artistic creativity, I have none. I would like 
6 icons:

        1. SOBNLE Main ICON
        2. Zone ICON
        3. Region ICON
        4. Host ICON
        5. HUB ICON
        6. Node ICON.
