Fidonet traffic is relatively low I opt to keep everything in all
echoes except those with automated posts.  You have probably already
been told about sqpack.  My gripe is that it automatically renumbers
message areas.  The operations of purge, pack and renumber are
different operations and should be seperate.   hptutil used to be an
option but is buggy.
