Hi! Richard,

On 08 Oct 07 13:26, you wrote to me:

Oh.  Oh, damn.  Okay then...

I've checked the BFDS listings and my own filesbase: nada.  I just found a
listing on my friend Rick's BBS for a thingy called NLR: nlr001.zip, about
80k small.  Here's the description for it...

"NLR (NodeList Reader) v0.01  Includes NLR.EXE (stand-alone DOS/DPMI
nodelist search
program) and NLR.MEX (interfaces NLR.EXE with Maximus 3.1+).  FREEWARE"

The only trouble is it wouldn't download properly, and I kept on getting a
corrupted file.  It sounds like the sort of thing you may be after.  Could
you maybe hunt it down, 'over there'?

If all else fails, maybe I could do a custom BATch for you using some of
the utils in the BFDS.  Let me know...

Cheers,
Paul.

... None of you are real; my sysop types all this in.
