subject: proposed new nodelist [2]

Hi Frank.

 FV> It appears that before a new format for the Fidonet Nodelist can
 FV> be made, the current flags and format needs to be decided on. With
 FV> at least two Zone having different rules for what is allowed in
 FV> the Nodelist, we have a problem that needs to be dealt with. :(

definately... the old fts0005 style is needed by some software for correct
functioning, (unfortunately 0005 is not compatible with zone 1)

5000/5001 works with some different software, we need a list that can
atleast be converted into nodelists that follow the rules of both
0005 and 5000, but if there's people in z2 who want 5000 they should be
able to have it,  the people who want 0005 are mostly POTS only.
