    In that period, I was not really interested in the Nodelist, moreover I think   
    the approach was different between the zones.   
    I am not sure, that modifications were then made to Makenl. There was some   
    overloading of nodelist fields and new flags were defined.   
    The first modification I remeber was reducing restrictions on the combination   
    of the First field of a nodelist line and -Unpublished-   
    Without that modification -Unpublished- could only be used with tpe Pvt tag.   
    Later the latter was expanded, to allow -Unpublished- with Zone, Region, Host   
    and Hub.

    In case the "-" causes parsing problems consider "NOKillsent", where the   
    characters given in capitals als the minimum, that should be used.   
      
    This would be in line with the tags in the control file, where the minmal   
    string to make the tag unique is sufficient.   
      
    I added this as I expect that Andrew will read this message as well.
