Hello Alan,

 AB> By what method is a nodelist compressed?

 AB> All zip methods I try result in no file or a 0 byte file.

The weekly nodelist is compressed with zip. Last weeks (the current) nodelist
is in a zip file called NODELIST.Z08. A command like..

"unzip NODELIST.Z08" will unzip the nodelist within and you should have
NODELIST.108 after that.

 Ttyl :-),
         Al
