Hi! Carlos,

My main node underwent a major crisis in August 2018. I had to move from a 20+
year old MS-DOS/Windows configuration to a Linux-based one. Fortunately,
Wilfred was testing an early Linux FMail
solution. I chose FMail as I had tested an earlier version (1.22 back in
early-90s, I think), so I was primed to use something familiar to my previous
FastEcho/DOS. But. I found that FMail was still buried in mid-90s thinking,
and soon got tired of it.

Yes. It was the Hudson 'thing' that spoiled my fun. Hence the 'panic button'
thing, whenever some newbie sysop dumped their messagebase on the network.
Also activating newly-connected echo areas was a pain, in a Linux environment:
no FConfig/linux. Both Wilfred and I had to use a Windows/32 somewhere to
configure FMail and then copy the configuration to Linux. I think we were the
only ones using the Linux version, so there wasn't any pressure to do
something.
Don't get me wrong. Wilfred was a real champion.
PQ>> RnTrack is mentioned in Fidonews.
CN> Will take a look at it.
It's real simple. You're welcome to my configuration file if it might be
useful, though you may not need it as RnTrack is simple.
PQ>> Bon chance! (I'm exhausting my foreign language repertoire.)
CN> Close, but... that looks like French. :-)
Yep. I studied _elementary_ French over 50 yeards ago.
CN> I'm a little further south. It should be "Buena suerte".
CN> Gracias.
Thank you! My apologies.
Cheers,
Paul.
