And I personally find it really interesting to know the geographic location of the nodes. I always wanted to make a map of the world with the HECnet links and sites marked, but I never got around to it. Is anybody looking for something to do? Oh, and it needs to be possible to put information for nodes other than the current one (i.e. the one actually serving the INFO.TXT file) into the file. That's to allow for machines that aren't up 24x7. Bob
