I have found this point list, I made some time ago, using makenl, 
unfortunately, I cannot locate the CTL file I used to build this, ...

I think, with the correctly modified, CTL file, it should be possible to make 
a BOSS style pointlist with makenl, tho I am no longer as certain, as I was a 
few days ago ...

It might require making a pointlist, as above, then manually editing HOST to 
BOSS and recalculating the CRC, and thus obtain a working BOSS style pointlist 
...
