Are these two files actually in your "Inbound" directory, along with their 
accompanying .TIC files?

Well, that worked OK :-))

The Fido nodelist(NODELIST.074) was successfully processed but the Zone2 
Pointlist(Z2PNT.*) wasn't because WinPoint couldn't find it. Does Z2PNT.Z74 
actually exist on your system and where is it? If it does exist, have you 
extracted the raw pointlist(Z2PNT.074) from Z2PNT.Z74 and copied it to the 
WinPoint "DistribNL" directory? WinPoint's nodelist processor *cannot process* 
packed nodelist/pointlist files, although it *can process* packed 
nodediff/pointdiff files.

Martin
