   it is questionable, though... i forget which version of binkd brought in the   
   ability to list the lookup domain on the DOMAIN lines but all the binkd   
   versions previous to that used the root-domain line... i expect that there are   
   still some systems out there using OS supplied installations of binkd which are   
    old v0.9 versions...

   ideally there should not be any since the nodelist is supposed to carry all the   
    necessary information to connect to a system...

   i've wondered if the binkp.net scripts and methods are documented and available   
    for others to be able to look over and possibly use as a base to build their   
   own...
