   Error in the Region 17 / Net 153 segmmen

    Dear All,   
      
    I know this is not the place to complain, those that can are   
    most likely reading this Echo. Apart from that it could lead to a   
    feature in makenl.   
      
    For quite a while the following error shows in the Nodelist.   
      
   E DOWN,779,RoadRunner_X,Grande_Cache_Alberta,Randy_Sommerfeld,   
           -Unpublished-,9600,XX,CM,V32b,V34,V42b,IBN:rrx.ca   
   E  -- Invalid keyword -- 'FILES'   
      
   This concerns 1:153/779 and my best guess is that the error is generated   
   on his system. That would be consistent with the second error line as   
   FILES could be the next keyword in te configuration file.   
      
   As the system is apparently down, no corrections are sent.   
      
   Had the host segment been processed, by a current makenl, then DOWN would have   
   been converted to "Down" and the line a valid entry.   
      
   Can someone contact Dallas Hinton or Bob Seaborn, to correct this line in their   
   segment.   
      
   Now for the feature request.   
   Would it be usefull if higher level, e.g region or zone, processors would   
   correct these lower level error, that are O.K. in de current makenl.   
      
   One could look for ;E DOWN and chane it back to DOWN or Down.   
   I can think of other errors, that are correctable, From the past I remember   
   a case error in "Unpublished". Again an error that is now handled by makenl.   
      
   Correcting errors like these can ofcourse also be done by a preprocessor.   
      
      
      
   Regards,   
   Kees van Eeten
