I figured that out on my own with .087 last week. I'm running it like this right now, and it works: кФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФП Г Z2PNT.### 094 Z2PNT_D.### Z2PNT_D.Z## Diff FD Pointlist Г Г NODELIST.### 094 NODEDIFF.### NODEDIFF.Z## Diff Nodelist Г Г FSXNET.### 094 FSXNET.### FSXNET.Z## Diff Nodelist Г Г Г Г Г Г Г Г Г Г кФ Configure Node/Pointlist ФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФП Г Г Г Г Г Г Г List name FSXNET.### Number 094 Г Г Г Г Г Г Г Г Format of list Nodelist Г Г Г Г Zone/Address 21 Г Г Г Г Г Г Г Г Update file FSXNET.### Г Г Г Г Update archive FSXNET.Z## Г Г Г Г Г Г Г Г Process by Г Г Г Г Г Г Г Г [x] Use internal nodelist processor Г Г Г Г [ ] Delete update after processing Г Г Г Г Г Г Г РФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФФ [F2] Фй Г The previous week's .087 was set up the same way. It ran fine. But the error message that I posted here started as soon as I had a FSXNET.Z94 in the /FILE directory after a file-request. :( MF>To test my workaround, I posted a test shot in FIDOTEST and there was MF>no lockup after the poll.

Meanwhile, I renamed the workaround fields to this: Г FSXNET.### 094 FSXDIFF.### FSXDIFF.Z## Diff Nodelist Г The problem/lockup seems to start as soon as it sees another FSXNET.Z in the /FILES dir. ../\|ug -+- OpenXP 5.0.43 + Origin: /\|ug's Point, Ont.
