Hello Wilfred.

I do it all day ;-)

For example, d'Bridge tosser would let me know
FTSC_PUBLIC
FMAIL_HELP
FN_SYSOP

Which my BBS used to circumvent a full scan of 1000+ echos when someone
would log in, that was on before the most recent toss - I limited their
"NEW SCAN" to those 3 echos listed above. I have a small DB of
userID,array of areas - so it only searched the array of areas from JLR
forward. *MUCH* faster for a user on my systems... especially when I start
pulling in newsgroups and any other FTN(etwork) I can get coming in.

 ON>> And what is the best way for me to pass such from BBS/NNTP/etc to
 ON>> you for SCAN?

Same going out, I could drop SCANTHIS.LST and simply drop in:
AREA    or    AREA,MSG#

To short-circuit scanning for timestamp or modcounter changes in JAM.
