Definitely :)

Don't you understand, Gert, it is still a problem :(

If you change the name of the file just so you can get around the policy,
that is not right.  Downlinks (and users) who download files don't want the
same file with different names!

There are ways around this problem.. one is to do what I mentioned earlier,
let people know in "announce messages" in the echos where the
file is located if it is not released in the "other" file echo.

Another thing you could do is send the files out to your Pascal-net or 4Lnx
fdn downlinks, and then  _don't_ also send them here except out to one FDN.

We have to do things this way, this is important.

Take care,
Janis
