This is because  this node has a  ':newnode.' tag. As far  as LISTSERV is
concerned, the  BITNET node no  longer exist, so  when you send  the SHOW
command with  the Internet address  it tells you  there is no  such entry
(because  in general  there is  no entry  for Internet  hosts in  BITEARN
NODES). I made the SHOW commands work  on the BITNET nodeid because it is
more  convenient  to  be  able  to  display  entries  for  nodes  with  a
':newnode.'  tag instead  of  being  told that  LISTSERV  treats them  as
nonexistent. The  SHOW command can  "see" such nodes because  it directly
accesses BITEARN NODES (through the index).
