And the code is all open-source. Probably anyone could look at  
it and suggest a coding change for that part.

But I think the current developer is tired of me. I'm  
practically responsible for many of the changes from when I was  
first introduced to OpenXP when it was v5.0.38 (Apr 2019) to  
what it is now at v5.0.50   :/

I just like the way they need to work to reconstruct an updated  
list.  ;)

OpenXP can also be configured to use full lists, no problem,  
but then a weekly nodelist cannot be missed since the program  
always checks for the proper ### + 7 for the next one.
