Winpoint needs to be running for that to work. You're messin' with my
mind. :/ Make sure you have Winpoint running, drop a nodelist.z## in
the \DistribNL folder and watch Winpoint change it from nodelist.z## to
nodelist.###

It was a brief confirmation in echomail. Despite my archive of msgs in
POINTS, I can't seem to spot the specific exchange we had about it. I
just accepted Winpoint's auto-extraction of the nodelist as default, and moved
on. But the bottom line was that the .Z## file had to be physically moved to
the /DistribNL directory after a file-request.
Even if you don't have Winpoint running when you do the drag-drop, the
.Z## file will be automatically extracted the next time you launch
Winpoint. And, this is assuming you still have all the fields in Extras/
Options/Nodelists filled in - of course.

:( See above.

How do we get their attention to crawl out of that dark corner. If I had
the $$$$$$'s, I'd be using it to cover actual bills at this time.
