[HECnet] RSTS/E started emitting "?EVTLOG (BLDNIC) -- %Integer error" messages

[Thomas DeBellis]

It had occurred to me that ordering the node file by area and then node 
within area might make it more directly useful to someone looking at it 
while trouble-shooting a local area, but I've never felt strongly enough 
about the matter to come down on it one way or the other.

Besides, my SETNODE rewrite will display them in either other, an example:

    @g sn:setnD2.EXE.0
    @start
    % Insufficient capabilities for INSERT command
    SETNODE>GET (binary node definition file) SYSTEM:NODE-DATA.BIN
    /no-ACCESS /pagE-MAP /unrESTRICTED-READ /prelOAD
    Mapped 4 pages, 1830 Words, 915 Nodes.
    SETNODE>RECONSTRUCT (node keyword tables from binary table) /silENT
    [Closed log file: NUL:]
    SETNODE>SHOW (node table) aREA (number to filter by) 30
    [Area 30]
    FRODO      1    MV80       2    RD73       3    YODA 4    IMAC       5
    RD83       6    LTC        7    DFRPI      8    LAN40A 10   
    RDP1      11
    RDP2      12    RDP3      13    RDP4      14    CBVRP3 15   
    RD84      16
    LAN40B    17    BLISH     18    NICHTS    60    MALCOM 70
    Total nodes in area 30: 19
    SETNODE>SHOW (node table) SAME (node) /arEA 30
    [Area 30]
    BLISH     18    CBVRP3    15    DFRPI      8    FRODO 1    IMAC       5
    LAN40A    10    LAN40B    17    LTC        7    MALCOM 70   
    MV80       2
    NICHTS    60    RD73       3    RD83       6    RD84 16    RDP1      11
    RDP2      12    RDP3      13    RDP4      14    YODA 4
    Total nodes in table: 915; area 30: 19 nodes
    SETNODE>

The former SHOW is DEC SETNOD compatible syntax.  The latter parse is a 
result of the multi-section keyword tables I build for COMND%. This also 
allows question mark and escape recognition, which is kind of whizzy, 
yet useless for programming and probably NFT.
