    I have looked at your remarks again. It seems to me that you talk of two   
    distinct problems.   
      
    The first is where you get error messages is a specific case, the seconds   
    where your RC has a program crash on a OS/2 system.   
      
    In your case a line with  Pvt,......,000.0.0.0.0,........   
    produces an error message.   
      
    Your current segment does not list a dotted number in te telephone field.   
    And the logic in the programs is that a line starting with Pvt, has the   
    word "Unpublished" in the telephonenumber field.   
      
    The flag "ALLOWUNPUB 1" allows the word "Unpublished" to be used in lines   
    starting with other tags than "Pvt"   
      
    The flag "MINPHONE 1" counts the number of "-" separated groups in a   
    telephone number. For a value other than "Unpublished" it should be set   
    to "1" if there are no dashes in the phone number field.   
      
    What is not clear what causes makenl to crash on OS/2. If it is something   
    not in line with the specs, it should produce an error message, so   
    it is something more serious.   
      
    If those who have this problem are not in a position to hunt for the   
    problem themselves, someone else has to be found, who can reproduce and   
    analyse the same problem.   
      
    Lets hope that we can entice Ulrich to have a go, or whoever compiled the   
    executables for OS/2.   
      
    As a last thought, there should not be a problem in using NLMAKE, if it can   
    handle the envisioned changes to the nodelist.
