[Dxspider-support] Node List

[Lee Sawkins]

Hi Dirk.

You were implementing my requests so quickly I had a difficult time
keeping up.  I think my program is working ok with Spider now.  It is
somewhat backward compatible with older Spider software, although not
completely.

Chuck has always tried to keep an updated list of clusters, although it
is very difficult as they come and go.  Perhaps this list he has
produced will generate some updates for him.
