Hi! Nicholas,

Nothing special other than only certain up/down/sideways-linked systems can be
given access to the function. There is a 'perhaps', maybe, if it does the hash
when there ain't no backbone-type of tag descriptor file.[shrug] Just browsing
the doco 5 mins ago, I couldn't see anything related to the naming of
auto-created echo base files. The function is descibed at page 26.

Just a little while ago, twice. The echomail.jam file read...
--- 8< ---
/opt/ftn/fido/msgbase/aviation 14
--- 8< ---
That was the second attempt... I forgot to check the file first time around.
Oops. Lucky #13, it was. Don't look for them of course. Nothing gets out of
the glass menagerie alive. ;-)
Cheers,
Paul.
