Hi, Paul.

PE> Hmmmm.  I'll have to revamp my great new archiver to handle that.

No need to change on my account, I just expected to see SA2, SA3, (I'd
called you a couple of times the day I left), SU0, SU1, ..., FR0, FR1.
Which is what I've had from other BBSs and, I think, you in the past
when I've been away for > 7 days.

What does your "great new archiver" do?

PE> FM> Do you add onto previous files?

PE> Not currently it would seem.

But you must, if I haven't missed anything! I mean, add on to as yet
uncollected files.

PE> FM> Did I miss anything?

PE> No.

I don't think so either.

PE> FM> [later] Well I seem to have got all of AvTech anyway, from dates in
PE> both
PE> FM> weeks of my absence - 670 messages, and *not* in chronological order!

PE> I don't think the messages would ever be in chronological order if you just

No, neither do I. It was just interesting to read, in many cases,
replies before I read the original.

PE> FM> Other major echoes like Z3Tech also seem to be well populated, but

PE> FM> Pascal, which normally has 100-200/day, only had 37.

PE> Yeah, there's been feed changes.  Looks like it's sorted now though.

I'm not convinced, Int'l Pascal only had 21 today - mostly local, a
couple of zone 1 and a few zone 2. Maybe everyone's on hols.

Regards, fIM.
