Hi andrew.

 ac> I wanted to avoid long lines of text, because it tends to

 make line breaks non-significant then. like in Pascal or C :)
otoh you could overhaul the Txx flag to something like
T:[0-6]*[a-xA-X][0-6]*[a-xA-x]

where the [0-6]* represents an option group of digits which represent which
days the online period stats as the time specified by the following letter,

eg online 24hours (gmt) monday and friday only  t:04AA

or you can specify start and end days.

eg: onlkine continuously from 7am monday to 5pm friday  T:0F4Q

compact, but not exaclty human readable.

Is there a bif demand for this anyway? only a few nodes seem to use the
existing txx flag.
