One for use        MF>in Z1, one for use in Z2 and one for use in Z3.              No, I was not aware of that. I fetched my main nodelist from my boss node        (Tommi, Zone2) and the diffs automatically arrive from there too.              When this first started, I may have grabbed the list from Z1 Filegate        site. Then, I may have grabbed a subsequent nodelist from Terry Roati's        system in Zone 3 (but I don't remember).              My .017 copy (in WinPoint) looks like a Z1 version       My .024 copy looks like a Z1 version.       My .031 copy is a Z1 version.       My .038 copy is a Z2 version, but it says..              A FidoNet Nodelist for Friday, February 7, 2020 -- Day number 038 : 00105       A The FidoNet DAILYLST, a listing of the systems within FidoNet.       A       A This is the DAILYLST produced at 2:2/0              Is the latter compatible with the diff process?              And, am I to understand that Diffs from my Boss/uplink cannot be used with        full-nodelists offered from Z1 sources?              Thanks for quoting the header info in each. The Z2 version has a very        clear warning about its usage, but I must confess to say that I never read        the darn thing for leisure! I never noticed anything similar to the Z2        info in the header of the Z1 version.              Let me know if I must replace the current Z2 DAILY .038 that I have        inorder for the diffs to work.              Good sleuthing!       Thanks.               ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.43        * Origin: /|ug's EuroPoint (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 203/0 221/1 6 360 227/114 229/426 1014 240/5832       SEEN-BY: 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 292/789 854 8125 317/3 322/757       SEEN-BY: 335/364 342/200 423/81       PATH: 221/1 292/854 229/426           |
