   i haven't heard that... why would you think backbone.na is no longer in use??   
   it is only updated when necessary and these days, that may be a year or   
   longer... it depends on when echos are added to the NAB and others may be   
   removed...   
      
   i use backbone.na here on my FE... i have my setting in FE pointing to the   
   file area where backbone.na lands when it is hatched and arrives on my   
   system...   
      
    BG> I've tried using filegate.zxx, but I get an error.   
      
   because filegate.zxx is for tic/raid/allfix... it is not message areas but   
   file areas...
