Hello Martin,  
    
   MF> This is how it all works .....  
    
   MF> When you install a new nodelist or a new pointlist for the very first

  Yes..  I had read your wonderful guide sec 3.2.   That is what helped me get  
  the NL installed/compiled.  
    
  BTW, your guide refers to "All other fields should be left at their default  
  settings" ..but after I started to experiment with adjustments, I nolonger  
  had  
  a record of those default settings to undo what may have worked before.  How  
  about including some screenshots on your guide for some of the Options/*  
    
    
   MF> However, when a new nodediff or new pointdiff arrives, you need to  
  copy  
   MF> the *packed* nodediff/pointdiff to the "DistribNL" directory.   There's  
   MF> no need to unpack them because WinPoint does it for you...  
    
  That was very helpful.  Thank you.  But do I have to do the moving/copying  
  each and every time subsequent nodelists arrive?
