The necessary node >number information isn't there. I ad replied to Roger offline -- I shall repeat what I have stated to him. Yes, the node number information is not present. For the JES systems, it would be trivial to extract a report that has an association of node names and node numbers. I figure a pascal or c programmer could develop a program to chow down on the pathalias map and this node number association file in a day to generate a jes2 routing table. If I remember correctly, the jes3 tables do not require node numbers. /mrg
