   Hi Vincent,

    VC> Nope, for *nix there is a very good tool - kdiff3 but did not need it.   
      
   On linux I'm using https://meldmerge.org/   
   I think it looks more pretty than kdiff3! ;-)

    VC> IMECHO I did not do so as there is zero traffic for that.   
      
    VC> Will try and remember if these expire next year I will leave them alone.

   Isn't that what the BACKBONE list is for? So you shouldn't meddle with what   
   the moderators of the area meant to do?   
      
    VC> Problem with mbse (that uses JAM), is there is no statistics available   
    VC> for echo areas.   
      
   I don't use or know any such tools, but there probably are statistics tools   
   available for JAM message bases...   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
