do you also carry the DAILYLIST area?

i would think that you would see the same problem weekly in NODELIST and
NODEDIFF as well... those would be less noticible as they would dupe out
weekly...

then there's the thing that retaining nodelists for ages (historic archives)
would detect dupes every 100 days, at least... so three times a year for most
nodelist/nodediff names and four times a year for 000-065... throw in 066
every four years, too...

 VC> Blasted things are a pest.

i have problems with certain areas carrying message echo lists... seems that
they are updated several times a day and sometimes i get a new update before
the previous one has been processed... in my mybrid setup, the new archive
overwrites the older one but the TICs are processed in order... i have to
manually intervene and remove the TICs for previous editions as well as
copying the remaining TIC and the file back to the inbound directory so it can
be processed again...

this is with allfix, though... i've not yet set up a mbse system... i've been
thinking about migrating my remote access setup from the DOS side of OS/2 to
mbse... the problem is that i also want to DOSEMU my existing multinode door
games... especially the multinode scrabble which allows for live play if all
players are online at the same time...
