   That's how me & you understand it, if looking from a FroDo POV.  In this case   
   it belong'em FMail (& GoldEd) only.

   Ah, yup...

   Radius.  I mastered the internal FREQ server setup maybe a year ago. Now that   
   you raised the matter, I've realized there ain't no X? nodelist flag for my   
   main node & RC AKA.  I think I pulled the flags when I was troubleshooting a   
   problem with my DOS BATch FREQ handler, which was okay; it was just missing   
   some supporting files which disappeared over years of disuse.  The flag should   
   be XX, as for Argus I think.  I'll try & get David to fix that ASAP or with   
   the next necessary region update.   
      
   That's besides the point IAC: FMail knows nothing of the nodelist IIRC.  I'm a   
   little remote from my PC now but I've checked a FMail text output file that   
   makes no mention of a nodelist file in the config.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
