   As always, I appreciate your knowledge and feedback. As the subject line   
   states, I cloned Nodelrpt by K.G. Pace - part of cloning is including all   
   functionality of the orginal program. Now, everything I write (Fido-oriented)   
   is Open Source, MIT licensed. People can produce whatever variation they would   
   like. In this case, my goal is to bring back many of the 1992->1999 utilities   
   and reports that were 8bit and 16bit. This report engine was so old, it was   
   released as a DOS .COM binary instead of .EXE.   
       
   Usefulness? I do not care personally. It is just allowing me to get my hands   
   wet and again "reboot" some of the old utilities that were popular - or at   
   least published. I found this one in an email between Lisa Gronk and Randy Bush   
    in 1995. Personally, I find it useful to see how many nodes are in each region   
    in the US, the rest was just "work". ;-)   
       
   I will make Hubs a command line switch when I release this. I have ran it on 12   
    years of node lists for Fidonet, and on 7 or 8 other networks. Many of the   
   non-Fido do not even leverage Regions. . . just Zone, Hosts and Blank (nodes).
