i wrote this already to the NODMGT-L list. this month there are two ( 2 )
NODUPD files. first the 8905 NODUPD has only changes to EARN & NETNORTH
nodes (they arrived in time). last friday i got the updates for BITNET.
because their were some important changes, i decided (by request) to  ship
a second update (and called it VERS8900).
sorry for giving you more work than normal.
you have  to use BOTH files if you are updating BITEARN NODES and maybe
other servers.
