Hi! mark,

Those three files are created here as well.  I have these entries in my
GoldEd.cfg (they are the only nodelist related statements, BTW):

  --- 8< ---
; The path to your nodelists.
; NOTE: This keyword MUST be in GOLDED.CFG!!!
NODEPATH /opt/ftn/fido/nodelist/

; Filenames of your nodelists.
; If extention is ".*" or ".999", the newest is used automatically.
; NOTE: This keyword MUST be in GOLDED.CFG!!!
; xxx use daily lists from 22 August 2018...
; xxxx NODELIST nodelist.999
NODELIST z3daily.999

; Uncomment this to use Version 7 nodelist indexes.
;xxxxNODEPATHV7 /opt/ftn/fido/nodelist/

; Uncomment this to use a raw FIDOUSER.LST file.
;xxxxFIDOUSERLIST fidouser.lst

; Where to allow nodelist lookup when entering messages.
LOOKUPNET YES
LOOKUPECHO NO
LOOKUPLOCAL NO
  --- >8 ---

When the daily nodelist is unpacked, the following code updates the index
files:

  --- 8< ---
 cd /opt/ftn/fido/exteditor
   ./gnlnx -force
  --- >8 ---

But you probably already knew that bit.  Oops.  

Cheers,
Paul.
