Hello Peter!

Replying to a message of Peter Knapper to Francois Massonneau:

 PK> You can add the following 2 LINES to your NLMAINT control file as
 PK> follows (examples shown for my Region) -
 PK> ============================================ ; Flags      
 PK> R57flag.Ctl Uflags      R57Uflag.Ctl
 PK> ============================================ The first line defines a
 PK> file that lists the extra flags approved by the IC/ZCC. In this case
 PK> there are no extra network wide flags approved so I dont use this
 PK> file, it is commented out.

Yes, I knew that, and mine looks like that :
PRIvate Ok
; REDUNdant
FLAGS flags.txt
UFLAGS uflags.txt
COPyright  cpyright.txt
PROlog     prolog.txt
EPIlog     epilog.txt

But the problem is with what I read in the doc file :
------------------------
     are not strictly ``free-form'' and must conform to certain rules. For
     example, a flag cannot commence with the letter 'U' under any conditions
     (this prefix is reserved for the first user flag specified in a nodelist
     entry), the letter 'G' is reserved for gateways, and the letter 'X' is
     reserved for file request capability. Attempting to define flags, or even
     user flags, with these prefixes will cause them to be ignored ('X' is the
     exception, where two-character flags will be allowed for when a new file
     request capability is added).
------------------------

As he said "the letter X is reserved for file request capability,...." how can 
I make NLMAINT to accept the new flags X2C and X2S.
If I add those two flags in the UFLAGS.TXT file, they will be reject, no ??
I saw in the nodelist that those flags are always put _before_ the ",U,"
flags.
So do I have to add them in the UFLAGS.TXT or FLAGS.TXT files ? Or do I have
to ignore those flags in those two files, and let the submitters to send me
their segment with those flags in ??

Bye, Francois!

P.S. I would be interested about what flags I have to put in my FLAGS.TXT and
UFLAGS.TXT files. I guess I made many mistakes, as I put in my flags.txt for
example those flags :
ALLFIX,FID2INT,FIDS,INTIREX,MI,SEAT,V34+  (one per line of course).
and in my UFLAGS.TXT I have :
3COMX2C,3COMX2S,EMA,EVY,FAX,IBN,IFC,IFT,ITN,IVM,IP,IMI,ISE,ITX,IUC,IEM,PN,RDN,S
DN,SDS,TTf,TUF,V90C,V90S,V110H,V110L,Z19,

Thank you in advance.
