The month of February is going to be a little different insofar as updates to 
THENET_NODES_FULL.COM go.  Rather than sending in complete replacements for 
your area as you have done in the past, we ask that for this month you send 
only your changes, with instructions to add, delete, or modify the specified 
nodes.  We are in the process of bringing up a new system to handle updates 
to THENET_NODES_FULL.COM which requires that we convert the entire contents 
of this file into an indexed file (more on this new system later).  We'll be 
converting the November 3 version of THENET_NODES_FULL.COM, which was 
announced yesterday, so in order to include any modifications sent in during 
the month of November, we ask that you send us only the descriptions of the 
changes to be made, rather than complete updates to your area.  This will 
make it much easier for us to put your changes into the database.  We won't 
be very picky about the new format.  All you need to do is include a suitably 
formatted entry for nodes to be added or modified (same format as before), 
with instructions as to whether this is an addition or a modification.  For 
nodes to be deleted, just list them by node name and address with 
instructions to delete them.

IMPORTANT: Updates in the old format will not be accepted!  They will be 
returned to sender.
