The logs only record  .PKT  filenames.

Yeah.. that was not long ago.  Let me know what that means when you find  
out.

I think those were related to my nodelist build attempts (?)

Maybe I didn't have a solid internet connection when I launched a poll.

There are no tick marks.  It is just a list of archivers and their  
"arguments"  ...and an F2 option to change things.

But why didn't my renamed file NODELIST.ZIP to NODELIST.Z95 work?  Is it  
because I didn't have a valid archiver available?

I found a working unzip.exe here:

C:\SWTOOLS\APPS\wc301-219f ..and will copy that to the /OPENXP dir.


Thanks for pointing out the various issues.
