    I have had a "look" at 3.4.6, not tested it jet. What I gathered from the
    docomentation and the source code, is that a BOM from submitted fts5 lines
    will be removed, but the copyright, prolog and epilog are untouched.
    Shouldn't the BOM be removed from these files as well?

    I will run a nodelist production on a test system tonight.

    Good point. I'll have to add scanning for BOMs in those files as well.

    I will run a nodelist production on a test system tonight.

    Let me know how it goes.

    I tried it with my Nodelist rebuild routine, it runs makenl with a proper
    ctl for every node in the nodelist and ends with the distribution file.

    There were no problems there. The REMoveBOM flag was enabled, but ofcourse
    there were no BOM's in the input files. I will leave the creation of files
    with BOM markers to Michiel. He uses a MS-editor, that adds such usefull
    information.

    I will have to modify my currents scripts that prepare the makenl input for
    the generation of the UTF nodelist, as these script do, what is now in makenl.

    If everything remains well on the test system, I will use 3.4.6 for the
    shadow production of the Z2 nodelist production as well.

    3.4.6 runs here live since last week. No problems, also bom is active.
    Because of no bom-Inputfiles no errors.

    See boms.zip in your inbound.

    Not really. The editor I normally use does not add boms. I had to revert to some trickery to add boms for testing.

    As these files are usually static/rarely updated, I will probably go ahead with the 3.4.6 release, and put the removal of BOMs from Copyright/ProLog/EpiLog on the list for 3.4.7.

    It was very helpful having those files to make sure that my code actually worked as intended.

    December is coming. Nodelist clercks have a habit of inserting seasons greetings in the nodelist epilog...

    It was very helpful having those files to make sure that my code

    So to help you a bit more, I have dropped z2prol.txt in your inbound. It is a good example of how the prolog of the Z2 UTF-8 nodelist may look in December. There is a BOM in it.

    I already made a set of test files for testing this, but thanks for sending it anyway.

    Then is it then the best way to get the sources for Gentoo systems by use of cvs or just some just get net-fido files to be updated.
    If using cvs is it the command for it then. ??
