      MSGID: 2:221/1.58@fidonet ee37a843       REPLY: 2:240/5824.1@fidonet ee34a22f       PID: OpenXP/5.0.49 (Win32)       CHRS: CP437 2       TZUTC: -0500       Hello Anna!               AA>> If I recall correctly, auto-updates only work when there are DIFFs.               ACN> No, auto-updating as a diff is an option. For example, I        ACN> also have the fsxNet nodelist auto-updated and there I        ACN> don't get diffs.              OH! I had understood from one of the OXP experts here that this        part in the config:              ÚÄ Configure Node/Pointlist ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿       ³ ³       ³ List name FSXNET.### Number 360 ³       ³ ³       ³ Format of list Nodelist ³       ³ Zone/Address 21 ³       ³ ³       ³ Update file FSXNET_D.### <----- THIS field ³       ³ Update archive FSXNET_D.Z## <----- THIS field ³       ³ ³       ³ Process by ³       ³ ³       ³ [x] Use internal nodelist processor ³       ³ [ ] Delete update after processing ³       ³ ³       ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ [F2] ÄÙ               ..would ONLY work for nets that serve DIFFs.                      ACN> My "nodelist list" looks like this:               ACN> Z2PNT.### 064 Z2PNT.### Z2PNT.Z## FD-Pointliste        ACN> NODELIST.### 064 NODEDIFF.### NODEDIFF.Z## Diff Nodeliste        ACN> FSXNET.### 071 FSXNET.### FSXNET.Z## Nodeliste        ACN> tqwnet.### 057 TQWNET.### TQWNET.Z## Nodeliste              WOW... That means that I *can* get autoupdated FSXNET nodelists!        I will do that too! Thanks!              My nodelist table looks like this:              ÚÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ       ³ Z2PNT.### 064 Z2PNT_D.### Z2PNT_D.Z## Diff FD Pointlist       ³ NODELIST.### 064 NODEDIFF.### NODEDIFF.Z## Diff Nodelist       ³ FSXNET.### 360 FSXNET_D.### FSXNET_D.Z## Diff Nodelist       ³ micronet.### 043 XXX XXX Diff Nodelist       ³ scinet.### 008 SCINET.### SCINET.Z## Diff Nodelist              Which means, that I would probably encounter the lowercase        problem with micronet and scinet too!              I never really noticed the problem though, because I wrongly        assumed that only DIFF-supported nodelists would update.              I *think* I had micronet's nodelist configured like you do for        tqwnet, but never noticed because I assumed that only DIFFs were        required for that to work. Interesting.                      ACN> Only the FidoNet NODELIST.### is in diff-form, all the other nodelists        ACN> are full updates.        ACN> And Z2PNT and FSXNET do work, only tqwnet.### does not work.              In that case, I *does* look like you may have discovered a bug.                      ACN> The FSXNET entry is configured like this:               ACN> Listenname FSXNET.### Nummer 071        ACN> Listenformat Nodeliste        ACN> Update-Datei FSXNET.###        ACN> Update-Archiv FSXNET.Z##        ACN> [ ] Update als Diff einbinden               ACN> (Whereas NODELIST.### has [x] Update as diff)              OMG.. I did not realize there was a setting for that        distinction! I will need to find that and adjust it for FSXNET.                      ACN> All my nodelist networks send new files with uppercase        ACN> filenames, only tqwNet uses lowercase.              As I said, you may have indeed found a bug!                     --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.49        * Origin: The point of origin --> . <-- (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 124/5016 129/305 154/10       SEEN-BY: 203/0 221/1 6 360 226/30 227/114 702 229/101 424 426 664       SEEN-BY: 229/1016 1017 240/5832 249/110 206 317 400 280/464 5003 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 288/100 292/854 8125 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200 396/45       SEEN-BY: 423/81 120 712/848 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 221/1 280/464 229/101 426           |
