Enabling both may result in "nothing" because if WP finds       more than two lists (also because you stockpiled them in the file area and now       all of them show up), it will do nothing. Full lists are only replaced, if       exactly two matching files/(e.g., NODELIST.007 and NODELIST.014) are in the       DistribNL folder. In this case, the older one will get renamed to NODELIST.OLD       and the remaining one will go into processing. Since later no more than one       file is assumed to arrive per week this works automatically as long as you       grab them every week.              BTW: THis underlying basics habe been used in WP95 already, so this (contrary       to nowadays public belief) was basically working for decades now. The only       limitation was that until now, WP was only relying on DIFFs (not supporting       automatic update from full list files). In addition, the files had to ne in       DistribNL or Inbound, so if TIC-processing was enabled in WP2005 it moved the       files out of sight. So for WP2005, either this had to be disabled or some       people used scripts to move/decompress the files directly to DistribNL to       trigger the automatic processing.               Regards,       Tim       --- WinPoint 394.0        * Origin: Original WinPoint Origin!
