In the past, I have had problems receiving AFD'd files from LISTSERV
at BITNIC, so I did an AFD for XMAILER NAMES from NETSERV at TCSVM.
Well, this morning I received XMAILER NAMES from NETSERV at TCSVM
AND from LISTSERV at BITNIC!  I expected the files to be the same.
When I noticed that the copy from NETSERV was 12 records longer, I
started digging a little deeper.  The copy from L@B had 1 record
not in the copy from [log in to unmask]  The copy from N@T had 13 records not
in the copy from [log in to unmask]  Comparing records for each node, I discovered
numerous discrepancies, some minor but many that I think are
critical to the proper functioning of XMAILER and LISTSERV.  I
have included the results of my comparison below.  Which is the
'true' copy of XMAILER NAMES?  Or are these 'differences' of no
real significance to the functioning of the network?

 ':alias.' tag discrepancies:
 
 There are 324 records in the copy from L@B in which the ':alias.'
 tag is null and the corresponding record in the copy from N@T has
 an ':alias.' tag that matches the ':nick.' tag.  In addition,
 the following mismatches were noted:

 ':netsoft.' tag discrepancies:
 
 There are 175 records in the copy from L@B in which the ':netsoft.'
 tag differs from the tag in the N@T copy only in case (L@B is all
 UPPER case) or drops the first '.' (period) in a version field
 (e.g.: 'JES2 1 3.6' instead of 'JES2 1.3.6').  There are 23 records
 in the L@B copy with a null ':netsoft.' tag where the corresponding
 record in the N@T copy has a value.  In addition, the following
 mismatches were noted:
