Fidonet files with extensions starting with a Z are zipped with pkzip. Just
like the ones with extensions starting with an A are archived with arc I
believe. So you need a line in your batch file to unzip that file and put the
nodelist into your fido folder. You know which files are nodelists because they
have specific names for each network. The reason this stuff isn't in the docs
is because the documentation was written when everyone connected and
transferred packets with modems. This wasn't needed.
