Thanks for pointing that out. I'm not sure if I knew that or not but it 
doesn't hurt to refresh ones memory.
On doing some deeper digging I found an old message that has the two errors 
explained.
  1. In SEAL.INI (SEALINI.DAT in distribution pack) in line
        FileSpec=";FileSpec %20t %3a %3l %d
     trailing quote is missing, making SEAL.INI corruption while using 
LCFG
  2. In SETUP.INI in line
        EchoSpec=String,":EchoSpec line","%t=tag %a=access %l=locks
     ":" should be replaced with ";"
Once number one is fixed it makes sealcfg.exe work fine. Hope these help 
someone.

It does it every time I add a new nodelink?? Minor irritation once you know 
about it and how to handle it.
