Paul,

I get the same behaviour as Jerry.  FWIW I'm currently using FastLst 1.36
and NODELIST.087.

   ----- relevant bits of fastlst.cfg -----
InputPath \nodelist
V7BugFix
Version7 \nodelist nodex sysop
  SysOpLst
  NodeList nodelist.???
  NodeDiff nodediff.???

   ----- relevant bits of msged.cfg -----
NodePath \nodelist
Nodelist fidonet nodex sysop.ndx


You wrote the V7 lookup code, and I don't really understand it completely
(my fault not yours).  Perhaps you could look into this problem?  I will
try to step through the code, but I thought I might bug you about it since
you wrote the actual code.  :-)

Regards
Andrew
