Thanks for the history of the implementation. (Honestly enjoy learning more and more about the evolution of different aspects of FIDO). <

Thanks, I will incorporate -Unpublished- into my nodelist compiler and nodelist builder, to be consistent. < Kv> If you ofset that space to the fact that most filesystems on current Kv> size Kv> disks, use blocksizes of 4kb, where is your gain.
Except for DOS based systems, some RaspberryPi systems, they are using 2kb and 512b blocks. Of course, this was just the first improvement I found. < Kv> If you really want to save on the size of the Nodelist for storage, Kv> propose Kv> to reduce the size of the prolog and epilog.

100% Agreed. It could be simplified to reference the FTSC.org documents, and a mention they can ask in >best_echo_name< for any assistance. The nodelist does not need to to explain in 2 verbose paragraphs what the file is? Let alone the last 400 lines detailing the flags/etc. URL/HTTP/WEB/LINK. <

I know in the USA, we still have some who do pay for bandwidth usage - WISPs and Satellite Internet companies service these people - and every byte does count.
