do you also carry the DAILYLIST area?

i would think that you would see the same problem weekly in NODELIST and
NODEDIFF as well... those would be less noticible as they would dupe out
weekly...

then there's the thing that retaining nodelists for ages (historic
archives) would detect dupes every 100 days, at least... so three times a
year for most nodelist/nodediff names and four times a year for 000-065...
throw in 066 every four years, too...

 VC> Blasted things are a pest.

i have problems with certain areas carrying message echo lists... seems
that they are updated several times a day and sometimes i get a new update
before the previous one has been processed... in my mybrid setup, the new
archive overwrites the older one but the TICs are processed in order... i
have to manually intervene and remove the TICs for previous editions as
well as copying the remaining TIC and the file back to the inbound
directory so it can be processed again...

this is with allfix, though... i've not yet set up a mbse system... i've
been thinking about migrating my remote access setup from the DOS side of
OS/2 to mbse... the problem is that i also want to DOSEMU my existing
multinode door games... especially the multinode scrabble which allows for
live play if all players are online at the same time...
