The script I posted is just perfect IMO. :)       Running out of available nodes was exactly the problem over here as well...              Take care,       Janis              --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-4        * Origin: Prism bbs (1:261/38)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 123 14/5 15/0 2 16/0 19/36 34/999 90/1 104/57 106/201       SEEN-BY: 116/18 120/331 123/130 131 140 128/2 153/7715 203/0 218/700       SEEN-BY: 221/0 1 6 360 222/2 226/17 229/354 426 452 1014 230/0 150       SEEN-BY: 230/152 240/1120 5832 249/206 317 250/1 261/38 100 266/512       SEEN-BY: 267/155 275/100 280/464 5003 282/1031 1056 291/1 111 292/140       SEEN-BY: 292/854 8125 317/3 320/119 219 322/0 757 335/364 340/400       SEEN-BY: 342/13 200 393/68 396/45 640/1384 712/848 801/161 189 3634/12       SEEN-BY: 5020/1042       PATH: 261/38 320/219 221/1 292/854 229/426           |
