   You have to configure the respective file area for each node list/diff in the   
   node/pointlest settings.   
      
   Also, you have to use either the diff or the full list for the automatic update   
   of a list. 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.
