"Bother," said Pooh to BRIAN JENNINGS about Improper Display?.

BJ> MH> When using the HOST routing system, why does a node I just added

BJ>The reason for it is because your game is waiting for routing data to
BJ>come from each BBS. A problem will only still remain if routing data
BJ>is done on the same day as a downlink. Tested this extensively and if
BJ>a downlink sends routing data at the same time the uplink does it
BJ>then the downlink will not be seen by the LC. John Dailey was told
BJ>about it but it is still not corrected. You can still see regular
BJ>recon updates from the BBSes in question but show bad routing at the
BJ>same time. Routing data is only done once every 7 days and nothing
BJ>you can do to change it. It is the game itself controlling that and
BJ>not recon updates and stuff.

Perhaps we need something like a BRE ROUTEUPD or something like that to 
force a routing update?  This really became a troublesome problem.  
Especially considering that since each node can surely read the 
nodelist, it should be able to generate a complete routing table......

Thanks for the info......
