It would be easy to write an EXEC to automatically update BITEARN NODES from the NODUPD files from Netserv. Three problems though: 1) LISTSERV must have R/O access to all the required programs. 2) LISTSERV must have R/W access to BITEARN NODES, which is far from being the case everywhere. 3) At present it is not possible to AFD the NODUPD files from Netserv with a prologtext. I mean, you can "AFD password * NODUPD prologtext" but the prologtext is a constant. If you intended to set it to "PUT fn ft options", it won't work because you don't know in advance what the fileid will be -- it changes every month. Alternatively, you could set it to "PUT LAST NODUPD" and hope that you will never receive two updates in a row and have the oldest one overwrite the latest one. I know, they are sent only once a month, but in some cases we have seen network delays > 1 month... Eric
