               *************************************************
        This is the first version of THENET_NODES*.COM to be created using
        the new THEnet Update Processor.  Although every effort has been
        made to ensure that all information has been correctly copied into
        the TUP database, please check over your node definitions to make
        sure they are correct.

                                January 5, 1993
                                  YET ANOTHER
               NEW VERSION OF THEnet's DECnet CONFIGURATION FILE
                                  (YANVOTDCF)
               *************************************************

        There are new versions of THENET_NODES.COM and THENET_NODES_FULL.COM
        available on THENIC.  This version contains updates, deletions, and
        additions.

        To obtain a copy, issue the following command:

            $ COPY THENIC""::[.DECNET]THENET_NODES.COM []
                                and/or
            $ COPY THENIC""::[.DECNET]THENET_NODES_FULL.COM []

        These files are also available via anonymous ftp to host
        nic.the.net in the [.DECNET] directory.

        Updating your local DECnet database
        --------------------------------------------------------------------
        You can now update your DECnet database without retrieving
        THENET_NODES.COM every month by using the UPDATE_THENET_NODEDEFS
        utility.  You can execute UPDATE_THENET_NODEDEFS remotely from your
        site without copying it from THENIC.  Issue the following command
        to retrieve the documentation for UPDATE_THENET_NODEDEFS:

        $ COPY THENIC::[.DECNET.NODEUPD]UPDATE_THENET_NODEDEFS.USER_GUIDE []

        If you are using the DIFFNODES utility to update your DECnet
        database, you are encouraged to switch to UPDATE_THENET_NODEDEFS
        since it is the replacement for DIFFNODES.  DIFFNODES is no longer
        supported.

        Updating the master THEnet nodes database
        --------------------------------------------------------------------
        To update your part of the THEnet node database, you must use
        the THEnet Update Processor.  Log in as the user UPDATE (there
        is no password), on node THENIC (nic.the.net), and type "HELP"
        for more information on TUP commands.  You may make your
        modifications either interactively or by sending a mail message
        containing TUP commands to THENIC::UPDATE (update@nic.the.net).
