Ah yes, I don't have that configured in the windows one.

In the "config" file here on linux I have:

[config]
nodelistdir /home/ubuntu/fido/nodelist

Nodelist NODELIST
Defaultzone 1
Fullupdate /home/ubuntu/fido/fileechoes/dailylist/Z1DAILY
Dailynodelist on

Nodelist FSXNET
Defaultzone 21
Fullupdate /home/ubuntu/fido/fileechoes/fsx_node/FSXNET

Nodelist MICRONET
Defaultzone 618
Fullupdate /home/ubuntu/fido/fileechoes/min_list/MICRONET
[/config]

I just run "nlupd -F" which finds the latest version of each nodelist and
moves it to the directory specified in nodelistdir.  It doesn't compile them
into any specific format and I'm not sure what (if anything) hpt does with the
nodelist.  nlupd can also generate a FIDOUSER.LST which I don't use.

Since the newest nodelist is always in that directory I tell golded to use those
ones:

[golded.cfg]
NODEPATH /home/ubuntu/fido/nodelist/

NODELIST NODELIST.*
NODELIST FSXNET.*
NODELIST MICRONET.*
[/golded.cfg]

And then run GoldNode Nodelist Compiler (gnlnx for me on linux).  I add this to
my daily maintenance script.

I also point the nl2binkd linux script at those nodelists to generate a binkd
compatible nodelist.
