   Well, you can't win them all...

   It does help at times.   
      
    KvE>  As noted above AllowUnpub=0 will only allow -Unpublished- together   
    KvE> with Pvt or Hold. The above error is a combination of -Unpublished-   
    KvE> Down, which is not permitted by FTS-500-002.   
      
   For now, anyway.   
      
    KvE>  With respect to the weird second error line "Invalid keyword --   
    KvE> "FILES" I can only say, that as far as I can read/follow the code,   
    KvE> that line is correct. I agree with the bugreport, that a more relevant   
    KvE> text would be nice.   
      
   I thought so when I wrote that bug report. ;-)   
      
    KvE>  As a solution to to the error in the nodelist, either the compliance   
    KvE> with FTS-5000.002 can be lifted as is done for the Composite file, or   
    KvE> RC17/NC153 bring the line in compliance, by setting the node on Hold.   
      
   MakeNL_NG is the only nodelist processor that flags Down, -Unpublished- as an   
   error.  The original MakeNL by Ben Baker allows this combination, as does   
   David Nugent's NLMake.  Logically, a valid phone number is not needed for a   
   Down node, as nobody should be attempting to send or route mail to it.   
      
    KvE>  As a last I would like to commend Andrew Leary for the state of the   
    KvE>  current code.   
      
   I've fixed a few bugs, but I would have to say that the work Andrew Clarke has   
   done on simplifying the code and adding support for additional platforms and   
   compilers is much more important to the future viability of the project.
