   Hello Benny!

    Including the functionality of Errflags in makenl is something that may be   
    difficult to get consensus for its need.   
      
    Apart from a few corrections the main purpose of Errflgs is to adapt the   
    way flags are used in the nodelist, as preferred by the ZC and does not exceed   
    his ethics on what may be changed in a submitted segment.   
      
    For use by the first level of nodelist admins, I think Errflags should also   
    correct the most common errors made by admins.   
      
    Makenl mainly reports syntax error is the nodelist.   
      
    Errflgs is to be used as a preprocessor just as the are preprocessors to   
    clean code written in C.   
      
    You can also build a preprocessor with bash and sed and possibly some other   
    commands. With some effort you could convert nodes without contackt info to   
    tp Pvt nodes and remove irrelevant flags.

    Try the Nodelist header.
