   Hello Martin!   
      
    MF> I've just come across this in fido.txt(sec 3.1) .....   
      
    MF> With the aid of Goggle Translate and my own limited   
    MF> knowledge of German, I've come up with the following   
    MF> translation .....   
      
    MF> ---------- 8< ----------   
    MF> There  are  basically  two  possible  forms  of  Node and Point list   
    MF> updates: Complete updates  in which the old  list is replaced with a   
    MF> new one, or diff updates where  a new list is generated by merging a   
    MF> difference file into the old list. Depending on  what kind of update   
    MF> it is, this can be configured in Fido -> Nodelists -> Config -> Edit

   What and where is fido.txt?   
      
   Anyway..  the news is exciting. Remember the issues I was     
   reporting regarding nodelist updating?  Originally, my problem     
   was the matching of the right Zone-version of the nodelist with     
   the DIFFs.  But I had a "feeling" that I ought to be able to     
   just get OpenXp to do a direct replacement of the whole thing     
   (without the diff processing)  I mean.. it just seemed silly NOT     
   to be able to do that!
