 O.K. A little bird on my sholder refreshed my memory, I am not going there.

 However, I still do not understand your problem, there is always a plan B and
 I know people here in fidonet who go al the way to plan Z.

 There have always been mailers that could not handle the nodelist as it is
 published, starting with all incarnations of Fido as developed by TJ.

 The solution has always been to create a conversion program that converts
 the published nodelist into the wanted format.

 Reading about your achievements in the past, creating such a program is not
 beyond your capabilites.

 I have differing idea's about what the Nodelist should look like and Binkd and
 my router software need their own formats. So every time a new dailylist
 arrives, the derivatives a generated.

 So I don't care that there is a Bjorn Felten or a Nicholas Boel, in my local
 nodelist they are Björn Felten and Nicholas Boël. There are also no all zero
 phone numbers, or other fake notations, these are all replaced with
 "-Unpublished-". Lines that are reported as errors at the place of
 processing, but that are not in my book, are restored.

 The nodelist as distributed is just a carrier with the common accepted
 notation.

 Make your own derivatives and keep them local to YOUR system to avoid
 confusing others.
