    Yup. Nodelist problem. Had to delete it to get my OpenXP to
    resume normal operations.

    Ah, soz, my head was entirely someplace
    else :). What system do you need to use
    OpenXP with?

    OpenXP operates in Windows and Linux.

    A nodelist isn't specifically required for most echom messaging
    operations, so I can live without it.

    Soz again, that's not what I meant.. You are using OpenXP with a BBS, right? Which software are you using?

    No.


    Which software are you using?

    OpenXP is a standalone point messaging program. It doesn't need
    to be associated with any "bbs software".

    Ahh, gotcha. Thanks for the

    Sorry for the late answer, I don't read mails every day...

    I've just checked, and in my OpenXP installation, the 090 nodelist is
    being used.

    I also removed the nodelist from OpenXP and re-added WEEDNET.090 and
    it got accepted...

    Do you have any more information on the problem?
    Does the debuglog.txt in the .openxp directory say anything?

    My debuglog.txt only tracks data per session. That means, the
    next time I launch OpenXP (which I've done since then) there is
    a fresh new debuglox.txt file. So, there is no record of the
    problem. When I've encountered a "problem with nodelist" error
    in the past in othernets, I've just learned to delete the
    nodelist and install the next one manually.

    Since today the 097 nodelist was sent out - did it work this time?

    When I deleted 090, I didn't reactivate the auto nodelist

    Will there be another nodelist delivery next week?

    Yes, nodelists will be sent out every friday at 7am CET (via a cronjob

    I've looked at the makenl documentation and found the setting
    "forcesubmit 1".
    I've changed the configuration and so next week the file should
    contain also the right day number.

    But nevertheless, I'm using the same nodelist in the same software and
    I didn't get any errors over all the time...

    it seems that nodelist compilers are using that line.
    i realized that because my Qnode/2 were not using nodelists higher than 006 and tryed to figure out why. and this was the only thing i've found.

    I could try to replace the number in that line manually. What

    Meanwhile the recent .104 nodelist causes the same error.

    Both .097 and .104 have the first line the same:

    Instead of 20189, what should that be as well?

    I recompiled the nodelist from last friday with a new option in
    makenl's configuration, so that this line also gets recreated every
    time.

    The line for .104 would be now:

    ;A WeedNet Nodelist for Friday, April 14, 2023 -- Day number 104 :
    20189

    So the checksum (20189) stays the same :)

    The next file, .Z11 with .111, will be sent out on friday.

    All set and ready for the next one. A few mysteries of
    behaviour were uncovered in how OPX operates wrt previous
    nodelist files found in /FILES. Now, the processing is set to
    delete the .Z## file once it has been processed.

    It all worked this time. But I see that you are not interested

    I suppose it's simpler that way if there are absolutely no

    That's a lie! Sorry, but that's absolutely not true.

    I tried changing a setting in makenl (I've set 'forcesubmit' to 1),
    but I have to admit that I'm absolutely no expert in this things.

    So, if you know how to setup makenl to achieve this, just tell me how
    to do it.

    I thought that setting 'forcenl 1' would solve the problem, but it
    didn't.

    Maybe I have to change my script for checking, compiling, adding to
    the filebase and hatching the nodelist further.

    I suppose it's simpler that way if there are absolutely no
    changes.

    As I wouldn't have to change my setup, it would be :)
    (and I have not heard from anyone that the 'problem' caused any
    problems)

    But I'm open for ideas.

    The last time I managed a net segment of my own and makenl was
    back in the mid 90's. I don't remember its features or
    capabilities or if it can manage the first comment line.

    But I am sure some sysops here could illuminate.

    No worries. It's just a comment line, and wouldn't affect
    operations. The "problem", as we have learned, was how I had
    OpenXP setup here to handle new incoming nodelist deliveries.


    But I'm open for ideas.

    I can ask at least one sysop who manages a segment on another
    net how he does it.
