   Hello All!   
      
      
   The new files along with the existing one's are now in the monthly archive and   
   these are now :   
      
   BACKBONE.NA   
   BACKBONE.RPT   
   ELIST.NA   
   ELIST.RPT   
   FSXNET.NA   
   FSXNET.RPT   
      
   and any other nets that start using the system.   
      
   So to get the BACKBONE.NA file, your system will need to extract it and store   
   it in a directory that your FileMgr can see, when echo's for a new / not set    
   up   
   echo arrives such as after a downlink or bbs user has requested it.   
      
   With the introduction of the BACKBONE.NA file, the need to use ELIST.NA for   
   normal BBS operations is removed as that has a restricted list of echo's.   
      
   Note that BACKBONE.* files holds both the moderated echo's from ELIST as well   
   as all the other that are not.  The only other differences is that there is no   
   Descriptions for these echo's as details such as RESTrictions, GATEway, ORIGin   
   and FROM contact details are omitted as they are all blank and all 'moderated   
   at least technically for the purposes of the elist software by elistmaint,   
   2:25/21 and do not expire.  Of course dead areas can be deleted if there is no   
   traffic for 12 months other than posting as Rules, Ack, Nak,  Any one here,   
   type posts.   
      
   In January and July the full content of any Rules file is also listed for each   
   echo - just to remind moderators to check content for both rules and   
   descriptions to ensure the is no missing text such as at the end of a line   
   (line length is over 75 characters) or just plain excess content in the Rules   
   file.  Remember almost all users turn off after reading only a few lines of   
   such assuming of course that a bbs display the entire content, if at all.   
      
   Out of interest In mbse the echo Descriptions are not at all - there is no    
   menu   
   function to do so but there is for the rules if a user request to view them.   
      
   Your bbs software may differ :)   
      
   IF any of the BBS prorgammers wish to support within their software the echo   
   descriptions they should contact me self for copies of all such description   
   files held within the elist system and out of possible interest they are in   
   stored in the folder descriptions in the form aaa/bbb.DES and can be sent in    
   to   
   2:25/21 using period (full stop) instead of '/' i.e., aaa.bbb.DES   
      
   Up to 15 lines of 75 characters exactly the same as for the Rules files   
   which is sent in as bbb.RUL  { Echotag.RUL }.   
      
   Where :   
   aaa = Group name, e.g., FIDO, FSXNET etc.   
   bbb = Echotag name, e.g., ELIST, MBSE, FIDO_SYSOP etc.   
   .DES = fixed text all upper case.
