   I've just come across this in fido.txt(sec 3.1) .....   
      
   ---------- 8< ----------   
   Grundsätzlich   gibt  es   zwei   mögliche  Formen  von  Node- und   
   Pointlisten-Updates: Komplettupdates, bei denen die alte Liste durch   
   eine neue  ersetzt wird,  oder Diff-Updates, bei denen aus der alten   
   Liste  und  einer Differenzdatei die  neue  Liste  erzeugt  wird. Um   
   welche Art von Update es sich jeweils handelt, teilen Sie  XP in der   
   Nodelisten-Konfiguration (/Fido/Nodelisten/Verwalten, Option "Edit")   
   mit dem Schalter  "Update  als  Diff einbinden" mit. Bei den Updates   
   zur Haupt-Nodeliste  und  zur Region-24-Pointliste  handelt  es sich   
   immer um Diff-Dateien.   
   ---------- 8< ----------   
      
   With the aid of Goggle Translate and my own limited knowledge of German,     
   I've come up with the following translation .....   
      
   ---------- 8< ----------   
   There  are  basically  two  possible  forms  of  Node and Point list   
   updates: Complete updates  in which the old  list is replaced with a   
   new one, or diff updates where  a new list is generated by merging a   
   difference file into the old list. Depending on  what kind of update   
   it is, this can be configured in Fido -> Nodelists -> Config -> Edit   
   by use of the "Include update as diff" button. The main nodelist and   
   the Region 24 pointlist always use diff files.   
   ---------- 8< ----------   
      
   So, the information was there all the time.   
   Please feel free to correct my translation if necessary :-))   
      
   Regards,   
   Martin
