A idea could be a script file to use before makenl is running there is
checking for a old nodelist exist and if there is a old nodelist.282 then
move it to another directory if you like to have it for some checking of
nodes.
When I making my nodelist for other networks is there olny a nodelist from
last run of makenl, but in my file areas for nodediff and nodelist can be
older files.
For some years back were I getting zone2 made nodelist and nodediff in
uppercase and now is i getting them in lowercase so the old ones in
uppercase not have been moved out.

  Take care,
            Gert
