Hello Benny!

 Including the functionality of Errflags in makenl is something that may be
 difficult to get consensus for its need.

 Apart from a few corrections the main purpose of Errflgs is to adapt the
 way flags are used in the nodelist, as preferred by the ZC and does not exceed
 his ethics on what may be changed in a submitted segment.

 For use by the first level of nodelist admins, I think Errflags should also
 correct the most common errors made by admins.

 Makenl mainly reports syntax error is the nodelist.

 Errflgs is to be used as a preprocessor just as the are preprocessors to
 clean code written in C.

 You can also build a preprocessor with bash and sed and possibly some other
 commands. With some effort you could convert nodes without contackt info to
 tp Pvt nodes and remove irrelevant flags.

 Try the Nodelist header.
