   Nope ;)   
      
   AA> WOW... That means that I *can* get autoupdated FSXNET nodelists!   
      
   Yep :)   
      
   AA> I will do that too!  Thanks!   
      
   I'm glad that I could help.

   maybe, yes.   
      
   And as I see it, you have the "import as diff" option enabled on all     
   nodelists. If you disable this option on all but the FidoNet nodelists, it     
   should work.   
   Except for the upper/lowercase problem I encountered.   
      
   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.   
      
   AA> In that case, I *does* look like you may have discovered a bug.   
      
   Okay. Who should I report it to?   
      
   Regards,   
   Anna
