   It would be silly to have a diff for a nodelist that is produced daily.     
   But that is a different topic.  ;)   
      
   I was asking if the next scheduled weekly diff could be used on the     
   current .038 full nodelist that Tommi's system offers (which happens to be     
   a daily version).   
      
   Apparently there are TWO versions of .038 to be had - "the" weekly, or a     
   daily.  But a freq for "NODELIST" produces a daily version.   
      
   Anyway, I think I answered my own question based on the analysis of the     
   first line in each version of the nodelist.  I replaced Tommi's .038 with     
   the one from Ambrosia.  It should be smooth operations this coming friday.

   I don't think THAT is stated so clearly anywhere in fidonet land as you     
   have just done!  Thank you.   
      
   The nodelist masters should cut'n'paste THAT at the very top of those     
   files!  ..or it should be part of the ftsc family of docs, somewhere -     
   because I could not find this subtlety meantioned anywhere obvious.
