Let you find at least one particular software (except makenl) that will
not work. If you do, I promise to manage a little nodelist patcher for
this particular software that will insert 'pvt' keyword into the entries
with -Unpublished- phone. In this way we will move forward and save
working software at the same time. If we apply a good will to the subject
we surely succeed.

Let us be specific. I need examples of software (except makenl). As a
programmer you know pretty well that patcher I'm talking about is a matter
of 10-40 minutes in plain ansi C and can be compiled and linked under
and for any platform.

Bye, Sinc, Alex
