I've finally come to the point where I think that there are a few more pieces of data on nodes that would be nice/useful to have from time to time. Much of the information you want (all of it, I think) is already in the INFO.TXT file - $ type legato""::info.txt ....

Yes. I know... :-) Which I said this is all voluntary and so on. I've just felt that the INFO.TXT is not really working that well either. At least not from my point of view. I'm willing to try different things. I could consider some automatic scraping and population of the nodename database from some distributed sources as well, if we can come up with something that seems reasonable. Oh, and thanks. Johnny
