Under data, that would be your RC entry for the nodelist.

These would be your RIN nodes.

These are your nets. The <file name> would basically be an include file if you
get net segments sent to you, or even if you keep your nets in separate files.

data

Region,11,Midwest_USA,Pewaukee_WI,Nicholas_Boel,-Unpublished-,300,CM,INA:binkp.p
harcyde.org,IBN

files

net 104 net104.txt
net 114 net114.txt
net 120 net120.txt
net 128 net128.txt
net 154 net154.txt
net 220 net220.txt
net 226 net226.txt
net 227 net227.txt
net 2320 net2320.txt

There is a fairly plain example. I have NCs who send their segments to me as the
filenames listed above. When they're detected in my inbound by binkd, they're
moved to the "received" directory for makenl, and with the above settings makenl
will know to process those files if they reside in the 'received' directory.

Once makenl is done, the 'data' line, along with all of the files below the
'files' line are appended together into one file, region11.xxx.

Hope that helps!

Regards,
Nick
