Hello Edmund,


 EW>> I have the following lines in my nodelists.ini file:
 EW>>
 EW>>     nodefile=/mystic/nodelists/fdn/NODELIST
 EW>>     nodefile=/mystic/nodelists/fdndaily/Z1DAILY
 EW>>
 EW>> When I run ./mutil nodelists.ini, I get repeated entries.

Mutil will look for both NODELIST.* and Z1DAILY.* in the directories given.

 EW>> If someone can clarify something for me.  Z1DAILY is a subset of
 EW>> NODELIST, am I right?

No, Z1DAILY is a full nodelist produced daily. NODELIST is the regular weekly 
nodelist.

The daily nodelist (Z1DAILY) will contain newly added nodes and will not 
contain removed nodes. The nodelist will catch up on friday.

 EW>> So if I merge the nodelists, wouldn't repeated entries be removed?
 EW>> Or did I misunderstand the purpose/idea behind merge nodelist?

I think merge nodelist will merge all the nodelists you provide regardless of 
what they contain.

 Ttyl :-),
