This way the tosser doesn't have to       attempt to scan out every single area you have. But rather JamNNTPd creates a       file with the specific echo/net areas you actually posted to. With this, your       tosser can be run with a switch that will ONLY scan out the areas specified in       that file. In JamNNTPd's case, it uses echomail.jam. In HPT's case, it uses       echotoss.log. So I needed a converter so HPT would be able to work nicely with       JamNNTPd in this regard.               BF> I have some 100 or so different *.JAM here, one for every echo.

Your JAM areas (4       files per echo) do not have the *.JAM extension. :)              Regards,       Nick              --- slrn/1.0.3 (Linux)        * Origin: thePharcyde_ distribution system (1:154/10)    |
