      Hello Andrew!              31 Dec 14 20:21, you wrote to Janis Kracht:               AL> Good. I have not been able to reproduce the circumstances that led to the        AL> corrupted segment file. However, I am looking at the logic for handling        AL> update files, to ensure that the segment in the master directory is not        AL> overwritten until the update is validated as correct.               Although I applaud that the update is validated, be aware that that        requires that the update is generated by makenl. Some RC's collate their        segement by other means and do not provide a valid CRC in the first line.               On the other hand, it would force the nodelist administrators to subit a        proper segement. There are tools, that can do a validation and deliver        a proper file, quite irrespective of what is submitted.              Kees              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5        * Origin: As for me, all I know is that, I know nothing.
