[HECnet] Node data update

I could hook that at my end to the running of NetUpdateV2.COM which already makes use of the file NODENAMES.DAT, that the current procedure produces. The subject would have to be unique so that the parser could deal with it. A mail message that looked something like this: To: @netupdate.dis Subject: NETUPDATE Content would be ignored. To subscribe all anyone would have to do would be to submit a HECnet email address to you. I will volunteer one right now to test with - SGC::SYSTEM. Hmm.. Eventually that would be easy, but the one snag right now is that I still do not have a resolver library for RSX finished. Once I've done this, I can do any such automation quite easily. It might be that I could set it up using a DECnet-SMTP gateway right now. I just need to check this out a little. Let me come back to you in a day or so. Right now I'm trying to understand how network booting PDP-11s work...
