   I entered this line verbatum in my MNL segment. It produced no such error.   
   In fact, MankeNL converted the DOWN caps to Down and processed my CTL file   
   without any errors shown in the output file.

   I don't think it is generated on 779's system, since he isn't net 153's   
   NC.   
      
    KvE> As the system is apparently down, no corrections are sent.   
      
   Instead of announcing such in this echo, it would have been more prudent   
   to address this with 153/0...Dallas Hinton.   
      
    KvE> Had the host segment been processed, by a current makenl, then DOWN   
    KvE> would have been converted to "Down" and the line a valid entry.   
      
   Yes, but the 'FILES' error has shown it's head in present versions of MNL   
   too.

   I'll forward this to Dallas...
