   Hello Benny!

    I have looked at making corrections for general errors, that have an easy   
    algorithm to correct in a preprocessor like e.g. ERRFLAGS.   
      
    Errors like there was in R25 in the previous nodelist, where a comma was   
    missing at the beginning of the line.   
      
    If you follow the nodelist over a long period of time you will find more   
    errors, that are correctable by a simple rule.   
      
    The general reaction to inclusion is, that a higher level C should not make   
    any changes to the segments offered for inclusion.   
      
    In a way this makes sense. The lower level C knows, that he submits a segment   
    with errors, or ignores the results of the testrun, that is available to him.   
      
    ERRFLAGS makes some cosmetic changes and can enforce the allowed flags for   
    the Zone or lower level. It cannot be used on a full nodelist, where there   
    are different rules on the use of flags.
