I have been using Argus for years without much problem.  I have noticed
some quirks though.  Most annoying is that it does not seem to read the
abbreviations in the nodelist and if I want to connect to another
system, I have to make manual substitutions such as BND for IBN.  Since
the number of nodes I might want to connect with is small and relatively
unchanging, that only needs to be done once in a while.
