OkiDoki.

In the meantime, here's my Fido nodelist config .....

Extras -> Options -> Nodelists

    Name: Fidonet
Nodelist: NODELIST
Nodediff: NODEDIFF
 Archive: NODEDIFF.Z??

Note: NODELIST, NODEDIFF and NODEDIFF.Z?? all point to WinPoint's  
DistribNL directory.

How does all that compare with your config?

Regards,
Martin
