I took Sampsa's suggestion and put an INFO.TXT on CODA with a machine
readable section at the end that contains information about the local nodes.
I already wrote a little DCL script that crawls the HECnet and collects all
the INFO.TXT files that it can find (so far there are eight, counting mine)
and if enough people adopt this format I'll write another little script to
parse out the node information.
The format is pretty straight forward - you can just type out
CODA::INFO.TXT and see for yourself.
