prefered way of doing basic hop control is now to create this file
and modify it as you wish. Eventually this file will contain all
the hop control and related information. An example of the

From version 1.13 it is possible to control the number of hops to each
node. This is done by adding information to the <tt>%nodehops</tt> perl

variable is a perl "hash of hashes", which means that you create an
entry for every callsign you wish to control and then one line for
every PC protocol message that you wish to alter.
so you can set the hops as a whole for all PC messages to just that
callsign. This is overridden by any specific hop counts you may have.
