   The v3.2.6b DOS version that I use has a self-test batch file that tests   
   MNL and writes a test.log...is that what you're looking for?   
      
      
   REM N387test.BAT file which calls MAKENL to TEST PROCESS the nodelist   
   REM segment.   
      
   CD \MNL   
   REM Call MakeNL and create a test log file   
   MAKENL /T \MNL\N387.CTL >> \MNL\TEST387.LOG   
      
   Hope that helps.
