I have looked at your remarks again. It seems to me that you talk of two
distinct problems.
The first is where you get error messages is a specific case, the seconds
where your RC has a program crash on a OS/2 system.
In your case a line with Pvt,......,000.0.0.0.0,........
produces an error message.
Your current segment does not list a dotted number in te telephone field.
And the logic in the programs is that a line starting with Pvt, has the
word "Unpublished" in the telephonenumber field.
The flag "ALLOWUNPUB 1" allows the word "Unpublished" to be used in lines
starting with other tags than "Pvt"
The flag "MINPHONE 1" counts the number of "-" separated groups in a
telephone number. For a value other than "Unpublished" it should be set
to "1" if there are no dashes in the phone number field.
What is not clear what causes makenl to crash on OS/2. If it is something
not in line with the specs, it should produce an error message, so
it is something more serious.
If those who have this problem are not in a position to hunt for the
problem themselves, someone else has to be found, who can reproduce and
analyse the same problem.
Lets hope that we can entice Ulrich to have a go, or whoever compiled the
executables for OS/2.
As a last thought, there should not be a problem in using NLMAKE, if it can
handle the envisioned changes to the nodelist.
