Hallo August,

No, auto-updating as a diff is an option.
For example, I also have the fsxNet nodelist auto-updated and there I  
don't get diffs.

My "nodelist list" looks like this:

Z2PNT.###     064  Z2PNT.###     Z2PNT.Z##           FD-Pointliste
NODELIST.###  064  NODEDIFF.###  NODEDIFF.Z##  Diff  Nodeliste
FSXNET.###    071  FSXNET.###    FSXNET.Z##          Nodeliste
tqwnet.###    057  TQWNET.###    TQWNET.Z##          Nodeliste

Only the FidoNet NODELIST.### is in diff-form, all the other nodelists are  
full updates.
And Z2PNT and FSXNET do work, only tqwnet.### does not work.

The FSXNET entry is configured like this:

Listenname        FSXNET.###        Nummer  071
Listenformat      Nodeliste
Update-Datei      FSXNET.###
Update-Archiv     FSXNET.Z##
[ ]   Update als Diff einbinden

(Whereas NODELIST.### has [x] Update as diff)

Thank you.

All my nodelist networks send new files with uppercase filenames, only  
tqwNet uses lowercase.

Anna
