   It's more of a problem for the text files that are also used to create the   
   nodelist, like the epilog and prolog. If they are not stripped from those, you   
   get BOM's in de comment sections, this is not how it should be, but probably   
   doesn't hurt the nodelist processing.   
      
   As Kees also explained it would probably create all kinds of problems if they   
   are in the segment files the nodelist is created from, so that's where you are   
   right also, that problems with the CRC could arrise...   
      
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
