   Hello Alan,   
      
    AB> Province of PEI put me on lockdown even when I went to Halifax to pick   
    AB> up my son.   
      
   OK, I think that would happen here in BC as well.   
      
    AI>> I hope you haven't tested positive but whetever is happening   
    AI>> there I hope your 14 days in lockdown pass without incident.   
      
    AB> I am not symptomatic.   
      
   Good, I hope it will stay that way for you, and all of us.   
      
    AB> Alan the points portion of the echo  is that I am having a hard time   
    AB> figuring out ALLFIX.   
      
   It's much like Areafix, it alows you to connect, disconnect and list file   
   areas.   
      
    AB> I want to get files from all the fun files places. The ALLFIX help   
    AB> does not tell me how to address what I need to address to get files.   
      
   File traffic is not like message traffic, you will only get new files when one   
   of the FDN hatches out new files. There was a new Binkd hatched for the OS/2   
   version of binkd recently.   
      
   I run the NASA FDN and hatch the NASA Picture of the Day every day so   
   connecting to the NASA file area would be a good place to start. :)   
      
   You can also request NASA from my node, you'll get that latest file from the   
   NASA FDN.   
      
   There is also the EARTH FDN that Dan Richter runs. There are a few files   
   hatched in there everyday. File areas in that FDN include WEATHER, MODIS, EPOD   
   and E-SCIENCE. There are many others as well but those are all active.   
      
    Ttyl :-),
