   Adding FORcesubmit=1 to your .CTL file will force submitting segments, even if   
   they are unchanged.   
      
   I have eliminated the the composite nodelist restriction for including   
   COPyright, PROlog, and EPIlog in my working copy of the source; after a little   
   testing I will commit the change to the SourceForge CVS repository.

   The COPyright, EPIlog, and PROlog statements in the .CTL file allow you to   
   change the default filenames for these files.  If you do not specify them, the   
   defaults are CPYRIGHT.TXT, EPILOG.TXT, and PROLOG.TXT in your Master   
   directory. If you do not want a file included, specify a non-existent   
   filename.  This, coupled with the change I just made, should allow you the   
   flexibility to do what you want to do.   
      
   Regards,   
      
   Andrew
