Hello Paul!

Did aks there to, but no response (until now). But there is no difference (as
far as I kan see).

Well, ok. The nodelist was a bad example. I want to do this not just with the
nodelist. There are other lists and diffs to. And probably it was better if I
had asked the question with the nodediff as an example.

Until now, I always used the internal FREQ functions of the mailer(s). But if I
can't find any way to let Taurus do this "last/newest" file request I have to
jump into AllFixs FREQ posibilities. Taurus does not have the possibility to
use an external (plain text file) to use with the files/directories/magic-names
to request (like a lot of other mailers). If that was the case, AllFix could
just update that file. But with Taurus that isn't possible. And the format of
the file in which Taurus keeps it's FREQ information is of a binary format.

Greetings,
