I've just enabled MergeNodeLists in mutil.ini. I want to set up an
event to auto-merge new incoming lists. Just curious as to which day FSX
Net's and Fidonet's nodelists generally hatch.

I get my Fido Nodelist on thursdays.. Since I have a bunch of networks setup on my system I run it as part of my nightly maint, it only takes a few seconds for it to run so it's not a big deal.. I also have a shortcut on my desktop to do it manually, comes in handy when you join a new network and want to merge in the nodelist right away, I just edit the "merge nodelist mutil.ini" I have to include the location of the new nodelist and name and
run it..

Yeah, guess I could just add it to the nightlies; no big deal. Not like my Pi has a bunch of other stuff to do at 2AM.

Hi there :)

fsxNet nodelist and infopack are hatched early Friday morning here in New Zealand so that means it might be sometime Thursday in other parts of the globe.

Hope that helps

Best, Paul

Fidonet is Friday - is is piece of my fetch program - compensates so it
can be ran ANY day:

Writeln('ExchangeBBS Fidonet Nodelist Downloader v0.1');
Case DayOfWeek(Timestamp) of
1:fn:='nodelist.z'+n2(DayOfYear(Timestamp)-2);
2:fn:='nodelist.z'+n2(DayOfYear(Timestamp)-3);
3:fn:='nodelist.z'+n2(DayOfYear(Timestamp)-4);
4:fn:='nodelist.z'+n2(DayOfYear(Timestamp)-5);
5:fn:='nodelist.z'+n2(DayOfYear(Timestamp)-6);
6:fn:='nodelist.z'+n2(DayOfYear(Timestamp));
7:fn:='nodelist.z'+n2(DayOfYear(Timestamp)-1);
End;
Client.Init;
If Client.ConnectTo('www.filegate.net',80) then begin
