   Hello Wilfred.   
      
   12 Feb 19 21:42, you wrote to me:   
      
    WV> Hi Ozz,   
      
      
    ON>> I am developing a new JAMAPI (TP version had a few quirks - no   
    ON>> longer). I have also modernized it to current class/object   
    ON>> structure. I will be incorporating your "Reply Chain" feature   
    ON>> into the JAMAPI (I call DXJAMAPI to avoid confusion).   
      
    WV> Well good luck with the porting from C to Pascal! ;)   
      
   I do it all day ;-)   
      
    ON>> * Only major wishlist I did not see (may be there) -- a drop file   
    ON>> from FMail to me ECHOLIST with new posts via TOSS.   
      
    WV> You mean something like what is in the toss log file but in a more   
    WV> machine readable form?   
      
   For example, d'Bridge tosser would let me know   
   FTSC_PUBLIC   
   FMAIL_HELP   
   FN_SYSOP   
      
   Which my BBS used to circumvent a full scan of 1000+ echos when someone would   
   log in, that was on before the most recent toss - I limited their "NEW SCAN"   
   to those 3 echos listed above. I have a small DB of userID,array of areas - so   
   it only searched the array of areas from JLR forward. *MUCH* faster for a user   
   on my systems... especially when I start pulling in newsgroups and any other   
   FTN(etwork) I can get coming in.   
      
    ON>> And what is the best way for me to pass such from BBS/NNTP/etc to   
    ON>> you for SCAN?   
      
   Same going out, I could drop SCANTHIS.LST and simply drop in:   
   AREA    or    AREA,MSG#   
      
   To short-circuit scanning for timestamp or modcounter changes in JAM.
