I have had the NG file corrupt on me twice in the last year. The first time I
think I took the list from Oasis2 and somehow managed to make it 'fit' but then
this became corrupted and didn't seem to want to merge back into Oasis 1.35
again. So I'm stuck too - I think when I took the Oasis2 file I had to rename it
and maybe even put an extra line at the top of the file to make it work.

Dunno why this happens, though. I'll see if I can find the file that someone
else suggested on Demon's FTP site.
