   Radius has some slightly better nodelist parsing ability.  (That could be the   
   Nodelist Compiler bugfix by Alex in 2004.[shrug])  Of course, its biggest   
   advantage is the treatment of semaphores: having both a dedicated directory,   
   and the ability to add custom-designed semaphores.

   Stay with what you feel is better.  I too appreciate good 'style' in coding.    
   Argus by another name, by your hand, could a Good Thing.  8-)   
      
   P.S. When the time of general introduction of IPv6 comes, I will be switching   
   to Linux.  I may have an XP VirtualBox or two but I would have to redo all of   
   my batch scripts.  I've already done similar things in bash scripts, with just   
   a couple of other tools to add in later.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
