   I have a pile of Z2DAILY.nnn (unarchived) in Z2DAILY dir.  And just one   
   Z2PNT.Z04 (still archived) file in Z2PNT.

   Yes.. the Z2DAILY seems to be cooperating, eventually.  But the Z2PNT.Z04 does   
   not move and (and does not automatically unarchive).

   I remember encountering an error the first time I tried to process the   
   all-zones nodelist, so I did unpack it manually and put it in the DistribNL   
   dir.   
      
   SO...  I just tried that with the Z2PNT.074 file.

   ...and it must have worked because I purposely changed my entry and it shows   
   up with the change.   
      
   Hmmmmm...so do I have to keep unarchiving and copying into DistribNL every   
   time?  ..or was it just for the first-time-use?  Maybe this anomaly should be   
   in the uber manual.
