   The logs only record  .PKT  filenames.

   Yeah.. that was not long ago.  Let me know what that means when you find

   I think those were related to my nodelist build attempts (?)

   Maybe I didn't have a solid internet connection when I launched a poll.

   There are no tick marks.  It is just a list of archivers and their     
   "arguments"  ...and an F2 option to change things.   
      
      
      
   MF> I noticed in the logfile that you posted, that the filename of the

   But why didn't my renamed file NODELIST.ZIP to NODELIST.Z95 work?  Is it     
   because I didn't have a valid archiver available?   
      
   I found a working unzip.exe here:   
      
   C:\SWTOOLS\APPS\wc301-219f ..and will copy that to the /OPENXP dir.   
      
      
   Thanks for pointing out the various issues.
