   Hello Martin,

   Yes..  I was thinking "the directory where the nodelists are dropped into".

   When I drop in the archived nodelists into the DistribNL, WinPoint magically   
   unpacks them.  The unpacked version continues to reside there.  I had previous   
   older "versions" of nodelists (and not necessarily in sequence) in there as   
   well. But when I deleted the old ones, and recompiled the nodelist, the 1:1/1   
   entry disappeared.   
      
   WinPoint may be the better GUI-based point program compared to Apoint, but I'd   
   rather prefer to take the smoother ride that OpenXP offers.
