    More and more software becomes abandonware and aging Sysops keep on using it.

    Dn't worry, they probably do.

    No, it is just a start of an inventory, of were changes are needed and   
    where there a limitations, as the software cannot be modified.   
    This is not aimed at Makenl, but at the use of longer lines in the nodelist.   
    It is wonderfull if all levels can produce a nodelist with long lines, but   
    if it fails on crucial systems on the net, where is the gain?
