All sysop's should be obtaining and installing the latest nodelist - I have 
now
switched to also using Z2DAILY as it is on a daily update from all zones.

For the moment the NODELIST also comes in and updates the system although it
might only last minutes or hours before the DAILY comes in - I will give it a
few more weeks and drop NODELIST and stick to the Dailies providing there are
no issues but so far it is good.
