   You no longer need to use the 'options'. Just use sbbsecho alone.  One   
   suggestion.  If you're running htick, you're going to have to use the -d   
   option.  This will prevent the deletion of incoming netmail as to allow it to   
   process any filefix requests.

    DS> FIDONET-R19SYSOP   R19SYSOP  1:261/38   
      
   In the Fidonet Group box, what did you put in for the Internal Code? In order   
   for the above to work, FIDONET- would be needed and in the Sub Group, under   
   'Short Name', R19SYSOP. When you export to your areas.bbs file, just tell it   
   your uplink, in this case Janis and either overwrite or append. Personally, for   
   my Internal Code, each network has a #. Fidonet is #1 so my areas.bbs entry   
   would look like this...   
      
   Internal   ShortName  Uplink

   1R19SYSOP   R19SYSOP  1:261/38

    DS> now, but I could put them back in, below ZIP, if it's necessary.   
      
   Do you have ZIP and UNZIP in your ../sbbs/exec folder or in your PATH   
   tatement?
