As always, I appreciate your knowledge and feedback. As the subject line 
states, I cloned Nodelrpt by K.G. Pace - part of cloning is including all 
functionality of the orginal program. Now, everything I write (Fido-oriented) 
is Open Source, MIT licensed. People can produce whatever variation they would 
like. In this case, my goal is to bring back many of the 1992->1999 utilities 
and reports that were 8bit and 16bit. This report engine was so old, it was 
released as a DOS .COM binary instead of .EXE.
 
Usefulness? I do not care personally. It is just allowing me to get my hands 
wet and again "reboot" some of the old utilities that were popular - or at 
least published. I found this one in an email between Lisa Gronk and Randy Bush 
in 1995. Personally, I find it useful to see how many nodes are in each region 
in the US, the rest was just "work". ;-)
 
I will make Hubs a command line switch when I release this. I have ran it on 12 
years of node lists for Fidonet, and on 7 or 8 other networks. Many of the 
non-Fido do not even leverage Regions. . . just Zone, Hosts and Blank (nodes).
