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!              --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.49        * Origin: The ONLY point that matters! --> . <-- (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           |
