   Hello Gamgee!   
      
   21 Apr 71 01:34, you wrote to me:   
      
    Ga> -=> RickV wrote to Dan Clough <=-   
      
    Ri>>> So I have my badareas.lst location defined in echocfg like this,   
    Ri>>> ../Logs/badareas.lst   
      
    Ri>>> But when I go into a message group and want to import the   
    Ri>>> badareas.lst the location is here,   
      
    Ri>>> ../data/badareas.lst   
      
    DC>> Why would you do that?  (put it in a Logs directory).   
      
    DC>> It's not a log.  It's a list of bad (undefined) echo areas.  Keep   
    DC>> it in ../data where it belongs, and where other parts of SBBS   
    DC>> expect it to be.  Sheesh.   
      
    Ri>> Ok, but don't you think it should work as defined in the config   
    Ri>> setting you set? Also why then is it DEFINABLE?   
      
    Ga> Well, yes.  I got curious and went to check what you're saying.  I   
    Ga> changed the defined location of 'badareas.lst' (in sbbsecho.ini, using   
    Ga>  Echocfg).  Then I went into SCFG/Message Areas/Message Group/Import   
    Ga>  Areas/badareas.lst ... and ... it still showed the location as   
    Ga>  ../data/badareas.lst .  So it does appear to be broken, as you said.   
      
    Ga> Digitalman - seems like this is a bug to me.  The function in SCFG is   
    Ga> not reading the defined location of 'badareas.lst' and seems   
    Ga> hard-wired to ../data/badareas.lst .   
      
      
   Digital Man did say "it's operating as designed", so for some reason that's   
   the way it suppose to be.
