:-( Sadly, until we can get past this somehow, we have a real
problem.

Agreed. The problem still remains of getting new software developed to
deal with the new format and generate old style lists for those that
need it.

Sadly, this could prove the death of some programs not under
development if not done carefully. Until such time as there are no
more dial-up systems, both Nodelists would need be supported.

JMHO.
