Not sure if that matters, but... That actually raises a question I've wondered about... Is there actually a need these days to create segments/nodelists with something like 'makenl'? I use it, and understand it, but is it really required? Could not the segments just be edited like any other text file, with a normal text editor? I think the CRC is maybe used in "diff" processing, but who actually needs/uses a diff file any more? AI> My net segments also have those on the last line. Same here. ....
