From what you've said, you've already done this and you now        MF> have a compiled nodelist and a compiled pointlist.              Yes.. I had read your wonderful guide sec 3.2. That is what helped me get       the NL installed/compiled.              BTW, your guide refers to "All other fields should be left at their default       settings" ..but after I started to experiment with adjustments, I nolonger had       a record of those default settings to undo what may have worked before. How       about including some screenshots on your guide for some of the Options/*                      MF> However, when a new nodediff or new pointdiff arrives, you need to copy        MF> the *packed* nodediff/pointdiff to the "DistribNL" directory. There's        MF> no need to unpack them because WinPoint does it for you...              That was very helpful. Thank you. But do I have to do the moving/copying       each and every time subsequent nodelists arrive?                     ../|ug              --- WinPoint Beta 5 (359.1)        * Origin: Reluctantly Revisiting Fidonet (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 15/2 123/1970 154/10 203/0 221/1 6 360 226/17 229/107 426       SEEN-BY: 229/1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 292/624 854       SEEN-BY: 310/31 317/3 322/757 342/200 393/68 396/45 423/120 712/848       SEEN-BY: 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 221/1 280/464 229/426           |
