Got an idea for that too :)

Make the file human readable, but have a standardised "tag line" with all the relevant data on it in a simple-to-parse format (in this case pipe | separated), e.g.

!HNINFO:1.401|CHIMPY|AlphaServer 800|OpenVMS 8.3|Comments go here|

Or something.

Here is the format I use.
=INFO MONK XP1000/667, OpenVMS 8.3
=SERVICES MONK DEC Notes Conference MONK::HOBBYIST_DECNET
=SERVICES MONK DEC Notes Conference MONK::PDP-10
=SERVICES MONK DEC Notes Conference MONK::PDP11
=SERVICES MONK DEC Notes Conference MONK::TEST
=SERVICES MONK DEC Notes Conference MONK::VMS

=INFO PDXVAX VAXstation 4000/60, VAX/VMS 5.5-2, Area Router
=SERVICES PDXVAX Guest Login
=SERVICES PDXVAX DEC Notes Client installed
=SERVICES PDXVAX Multinet Bridge to area 2

I don't actually have any need to record the node number.
