   Hello Michiel!   
      
   01 Oct 14 18:01, you wrote to me:   
      
    KE>>  Should makenl_ng flag spaces in a node line as errors?   
      
    MvdV> Definitely! According to FTS-5000 it IS an error.   
      
    MvdV>   in all string fields unless specified otherwise.  Underscores (5Fh)   
    MvdV>   are always used in place of spaces (20h).   
      
    KE>> Should makenl_ng remove these spaces,   
      
    MvdV> Or replace them with an underscore?   
      
    That would be just as useless for a flag field as the space. The Flag would   
    now certainly be ignored.   
      
    KE>> probably a nono, as makenl should not apply automatic editing of   
    KE>> nodelist lines..   
      
    MvdV> Replacing with an underscore will most likely give the desired result in   
    MvdV> the name fields. removing spaces will most likely result in line that   
    MvdV> parses. Or it may produce another error.   
      
    MvdV> Perhaps it is better to let a human judge.   
      
    probaly.   
      
    MvdV> But it definitely should be flagged as an error!   
      
    right.
