I normally for for Pascal-Net make a pointlist file there have some like
yor settings her in it.
Whre the first node line is Zone,115,.... and then the first Region of 100
and then 1000 to start with where RC1000 has a next line with point network
number by adding 000 for pointnet both I now like to make it better with
more useable lines for each node.
--- cut paspoint ---
Zone,115,Zone_coord_..................
Region,100,Central_USA_CANADA,....................
;
Region,1000,Central_USA,Windsor_NY,....................
;
Host,1000000,Central_USA,.................
Hold,1,Point_1_of_Central_USA,...............
;
Host.1502000,.................
Hold,1,Point_of_,,,,,,,,,,,,,
etc.

THen I no like it to only have Boss,115:1502/0 before the point instead of
Host so only the points line as ,1,... is in use and the boss line working
that way but I no see and know that neither RC/Region and Hosts /0 can have
point, it have to be only nodes there mst have point in a nodelist.
Paspoint nodelist is weekly been made together with the nodelists.

So for new working to make a pascal-net point list can I change things a
bite for it and let makenl starting make pplist with host lines and ,1, and
before pack to julian day have a kind og a perl file there change all host
word to Boss and update the recalculating crc.

  Take care,
            Gert
