NOTES

the reason why the hostlist.dat file is converted using hostlistdat2cfg into a file that can be computed by the hostlist command is, that first the hostlist.cfg existed and over time it turned out to be to complicated to maintain, but a backward compatible solution was needed.

Therefore it is recommended to define the list of hosts in the hostlist.dat file and not any more in the hostlist.cfg file.
