   I care about makenl. But I'm using the linux version to generate the AmigaNet   
   nodelist.

   I was not aware of that. At that time I was using nlmake on windows to   
   generate the list.

   There are a few nodes that run on an Amiga (afaik). I'm not aware of any of   
   them using makenl to generate segments. They are very small segments so they   
   are easally maintained with a text editor.

   I'll forward it to AmigaNet, but I don't think there will be much interest.   
      
    BF> If not, why don't you simply close down your precious @amiganet? ;)   
      
   Because we are not using MakeNL on the Amiga, we should close down AmigaNet?   
   Strange suggestion! ;)   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
