Hello Paul

 PW>>> Seems okay from the user side, anyway (called Ichthus yesterday
 PW>>> for a nodelist).
 SA>> Got fed up trying to freq it from me? ')
 PW> You and James. :) Used to be a time when people would alias the magic
 PW> name NODELIST to the current nodelist, but that doesn't seem to happen
 PW> any more.

Only ever had one other attempt for NODELIST...

 SA>> This new program I'm working on - one of the functions is to
 SA>> create a new nodelist.zip containing the current nodelist. Not
 SA>> implemented it
 PW> You could get NU to do it for you, I think. Or get one of the magic
 PW> programs to update the magic name. Or something.

I junked NU after it started doing odd things. Using XLax ATM, which is
quite good. 

 PW> Or just write your own program, which is probably more fun. ;-)

Already done. Now all I've got to do is add it to the system...
