But from what I can remember, you need        to make Extras/Options/Nodelist to look like this:               https://susepaste.org/84517042               ..where all the expected files are in the /DistribNL directory.               ..and, since your point is in Zone 1, you should put "1" in the        last field where I have "2".              Then, when all that is copacetic, all you have to do is:               Fidonet /Process Nodelists (or Shift+Ctrl+L)              Then.. when you invoke the handy nodelist viewer with F9, you        should see what you expect.              HTH.              BTW... Winpoint now has its own echo: WINPOINT. Maybe hook to        that while you're at it. ;)                     --        ../|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: 229/700 1016 1017 240/2100 5138 5411 5824 5832 5853 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/317 400 280/464 5003 282/1038 288/100 292/854 8125 310/31       SEEN-BY: 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 423/81 120 712/848 770/1       SEEN-BY: 2432/390 2452/250 2454/119       PATH: 221/1 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
