Hello all,

This weekend, we'll be starting the new FidoGazette file echo, please note
the 8 char tag name :)

We'll also add an area so that downlinks to Star systems can upload
articles to HQ.  I'll explain how that works below :) *

Also note that the companion message echo uses the tag FIDOGAZETTE.

% FDN:          FidoGazette

* FG2HQ:  This file echo is called a "Backchannel" area.  Backchannel areas
work best if you are connected to a major FidoNet Star, FileGate HUB, or
File mover.  You hatch a file in the FG2HQ file echo, and your UPLINK will
deliver the file to _the next_ UPLINK in the chain until it reaches the
FidoGazette HQ.    NOTE: Normal systems are not required to transfer these
type files
upstream so your best bet is to email or netmail your Article if you are
not connected to Major Stars like 1:261/38, 123/500, 140/3, 106/1 or any
Filegate HUB listed in Filegate.zxx.


Thanks,
Janis
