Ok.. Looking at the nodelist directly, I see:

,27,Star_Collision_BBS,Uppsala_Sweden,Bjorn_Wiberg,46-18- 7501515,9600,ICM,TJT,XW,V90C,X2C,VFC,V32T,H16,INA:scbbs.nsupdat e.info,IBN,IFC,ITN:60177,IVM:60177,UMY,ENC

But.. something about nodelist .190 seems broken. Too many
fields? What is "TJT"?

It doesn't even render properly for my fidograph version at http://kolico.ca/ftn/micronet :( The last known version that
"looks" right is .127.

False alarm.

After I removed another nodelist (Scinet), the micronet
nodelist looked right. I had configured the Scinet one as a
DIFF file when it was infact a full file.

Hello August,

Measure twice, cut once. :)

FWIW, the individual hubs create their own segments manually. All my system does is spit out the compiled nodelist. As for Bjorn's nodelist flags, ask him what they mean. Unless I get notice from a hub or a node that their nodelist isn't compiling correctly, that doesn't bother me.

If you have any questions about the nodelist, contact the NC who wrote that segment--in this case, it's Nick Andre--rather than me. Unless it's affecting the network, it's not my concern.

Yes, that's a lot of flags, but you should be aware that Fidonet Zone 2 have their own special flags that Zone 1 does not use. In my case, any flags that my system doesn't recognize are ignored and for the past 21 years, they have not caused any problems here. So no worries from me on Bjorn's node segment or Nick's net segment. MakeNL compiles the nodelist just fine and that's okay by me.

Also, this really should be brought up in MIN_ADMIN and not in MIN_BBS. If you don't have it already, please ask Mike to give you access to MIN_ADMIN.

I appreciate your concern but to me a lot of nodelist flags aren't anything for me to worry about. :) (Lazy ZC talking)

Yeah.. I didn't think anything in the lines would be the
problem either. And.. since OpenXp just compiled/merged the
lists without any warnings, there was no reason to suspect that
there was a lurking problem. And, somehow that inclusion
messed up the Viewer for everything else.

The problem appeared to be that I had configured Scinet as a
DIFF-type nodelist, when infact it was not. Something in OpenXP
that could tell the diiference between a diff and a regular
nodelist *before* it starts processing might have been a good
idea.

It's all good.

Might be something to suggest to OpenXP's author. It shouldn't be too difficult to write since a nodelist and a nodediff are sufficently
different to where you can just scan the first line.

I do not use nodediffs; I never have in my entire BBSing "career".
There hasn't been a reason to. Though my system does build its master
nodelist every Friday after the Micronet nodelist is created.

And the code is all open-source. Probably anyone could look at
it and suggest a coding change for that part.

But I think the current developer is tired of me. I'm
practically responsible for many of the changes from when I was
first introduced to OpenXP when it was v5.0.38 (Apr 2019) to
what it is now at v5.0.50 :/

I just like the way they need to work to reconstruct an updated
list. ;)

OpenXP can also be configured to use full lists, no problem,
but then a weekly nodelist cannot be missed since the program
always checks for the proper ### + 7 for the next one.
