Hello All,

I have the past two years had difficulties when updating the NODELIST,
over the change of year, and have had to request a new nodelist, instead
of updating with a DIFF file.

Now again, but this time still within the same year.

Received the NODEDIFF.365 normally, but the NodeListCompiler (PCBNLC.EXE) doesn't update NODELIST.358.

All NODEDIFF's have perfectly updated the nodelist during the year.

The PCBNLC.EXE is dated Feb. 2 1997, and came with the PCB 15.4 Beta.

Without a working PCBNLC I will apparently have to get a new nodelist
again for the third time.


Happy New Year,

Holger

What error are you getting when you try and update the nodelist?

None, except the above. That is easily easily overcome by getting a new NODELIST.

The PCBNLC.EXE is dated Feb. 2 1997, and came with the PCB 15.4 Beta.

My PCBNLC.EXE is dated May 5 1997 and is run as a DOS application.
I think that all of us running PCB have the same problem.


Have a good night,

Holger

I use to run pcboard a long time ago and this is new to me. The best thing
for now is to download the entire node list or you can ask your hub to send
it you.

Good evening Phil,

I use to run pcboard a long time ago and this is new to me. The best
thing for now is to download the entire node list or you can ask
your hub to send it you.

OTOH, you may have to get a new nodelist only once a year in the case
the nodelist compiler doesn't support the change of year.

It was a surprise for me too the first time it happened.


Have a good night,

Holger

What are you using the Fido nodelist for?
