Hello Martin!

 MF> I've just come across this in fido.txt(sec 3.1) .....

 MF> With the aid of Goggle Translate and my own limited
 MF> knowledge of German, I've come up with the following
 MF> translation .....

 MF> ---------- 8< ----------
 MF> There  are  basically  two  possible  forms  of  Node and Point list
 MF> updates: Complete updates  in which the old  list is replaced with a
 MF> new one, or diff updates where  a new list is generated by merging a
 MF> difference file into the old list. Depending on  what kind of update
 MF> it is, this can be configured in Fido -> Nodelists -> Config -> Edit
 MF> by use of the "Include update as diff" button. The main nodelist and
 MF> the Region 24 pointlist always use diff files.
 MF> ---------- 8< ----------

 MF> So, the information was there all the time.
 MF> Please feel free to correct my translation if necessary :-))

What and where is fido.txt?

Anyway..  the news is exciting. Remember the issues I was  
reporting regarding nodelist updating?  Originally, my problem  
was the matching of the right Zone-version of the nodelist with  
the DIFFs.  But I had a "feeling" that I ought to be able to  
just get OpenXp to do a direct replacement of the whole thing  
(without the diff processing)  I mean.. it just seemed silly NOT  
to be able to do that!
