Hey Jan,

    It seems to me that Fido is nearing the end of its
useful life, and that the job of writing new nodelist compilers and editors 
that would use XML instead of ASCII is probably not worth undertaking.

    On the other hand it would be a relatively simple matter to write a utility 
that would convert the current nodelist to HTML or XML in much the same way as 
present nodelist compilers produce human readable lists now. This might satisfy 
Micael Bulow's needs. (Shouldn't there be an umlaut on the U?).

    Have I missed or misunderstood anything important?

Best Wishes,
Bill.
