   It's something like this area, there seems to be 2 of them. :) There must be   
   some reason for that but I don't know what it is.   
      
   If I remember right, at one time FDN_ANNOUNCE was only for the FDN hatch site   
   to post new files in their FDN and anyone who wanted to announce new files   
   could use FIDO-REQ. I'm not sure about ALLFIX_FILES, I have never carried it   
   here since I'm about new filed out.. :)   
      
   I think it is good to know who has what in case anyone is looking for   
   something.
