I grabbed that from the header of the current BINKD.TXT file

That's what I saw also. Taking them out fixes the problem as far as BinkD
seems to be concerned.

Thanks. In the BINKD.TXT file I didn't see (Unless I missed it) him listed
as the person generating the list.

I did a little searching for the nodelister.pl file to see if I could
acquire it and generate my own BINKD.TXT nodelist.
