I care about makenl. But I'm using the linux version to generate the AmigaNet
nodelist.

I was not aware of that. At that time I was using nlmake on windows to generate
the list.

There are a few nodes that run on an Amiga (afaik). I'm not aware of any of
them using makenl to generate segments. They are very small segments so they
are easally maintained with a text editor.

I'll forward it to AmigaNet, but I don't think there will be much interest.

Because we are not using MakeNL on the Amiga, we should close down AmigaNet?
Strange suggestion! ;)
