Hello Janis!

15 Jan 13 11:37, you wrote to me:

 Yes he did.

 I take your word for it, its in your logfiles.
 Does he respond, if you send him a mail?

 Can you please make shure. Just to end the controversity.

 JK> RCs who've updated to Makenl_NG in Zone 1:

 That looks promising.

 Neither do I know, but in my view, it does not really matter.
 The use of the option has to be enabled from the top.
 But the ZC's have to enable the option simultanously, otherwise
 the composite file cannot be built.

 An RC who has no IP only nodes can, remain using what he has used before,
 And to be true, one can produce a fully legal region segment without
 the use of makenl. It is up to the person producing the segment, what
 tools he/she uses.
