(put it in a Logs directory).               DC>> It's not a log. It's a list of bad (undefined) echo areas.

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.                     RickV                     --- SBBSecho 3.29-Linux        * Origin: Live Wire BBS [livewirebbs.com:1025] (1:154/110)       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 128/187 129/14 153/7715 154/110 218/700 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 206 317 400 426 428 470 700 705 266/512 291/111       SEEN-BY: 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58 633/280 712/848 902/26       SEEN-BY: 5075/35       PATH: 154/110 229/426           |
