There is no way on doing it as nodelist for Adventurenet is write by a text
editor and nto with makenl program, Scott Adams have several time been
asked to make normal nodelist for adventure net, but don't do it.
The only way to manage it is by seperate command as "unzip advlist.z??
i:\fido\nodelist" and then using fastlist to make its own nodex .ndx
and sysop.ndx files as fastlist will work with the advnet.day file and
delete the old file.

      Take care,
        Gert Andersen
