   arrived, it locked up, again!  :(

   The ONLY way I could prevent the lock up happening with the next normal

   The new updated nodelist number in oxp looks good:   
      
   +----------------------------------------------------------------------+   
   Ý Z2PNT.###     038  Z2PNT_D.###   Z2PNT_D.Z##   Diff  FD Pointlist    Ý

   The top few lines of NODELIST.045 look like:   
      
   A FidoNet Nodelist for Friday, February 14, 2020 -- Day number 045 : 12455   
   Aú   
   A  MakeNL 3.4.5 (Win32)ú   
   Aú   
   A The FidoNet NodeList, a listing of the systems within FidoNet.ú   
   Aú   
   A  This is the nodelist produced at 2:2/0ú   
      
      
   SEE?   So.. the .TIC file in /FILES *could* be a problem.   
      
   Therefore, maybe I should disable "THIS" below?:

   Maybe the system is trying to create "Area NODEDIFZ" and is failing?  Bug?
