It is nice to see a developer/designer to actually utilize the nodelist
flags to produce something meaningful and informative to the user.

And, one of the biggest file managing bbses out there doesn't even fly
any of the Xn flags at all.  :(

Incidentally, when I freq that system, it drops the point designation in
the acknowledgement and changes the zone number from 2 to 1.

I wonder if you can reproduce it.

It's probably just one of those "yeah.. it's old software" reasons at
the freq server, and one just has to live with it.

I'll send you the particulars in netmail.
