The STATS echo is a fidonet echo where somebody periodicaly posts looooong
messages about all the echomail traffic. When Squish sees those looooong
messages, it skips over them (Because they bust some size limit) and
renames the 12345678.PKT file they came in to 12345678.LNG.

There is a utility called SQREPORT.EXE that will work up some stats. It's
included in the package and is kinda nice. Here's a small piece of what it
spits out...

It then spits out traffic by specific echos live/dead, which I won't paste
in here cause it can take pages... But I use a thing called carve to turn
them into 3 or 4 messages.


MVL> Are you using Squish/386 (32 bit) or Squish (16 bit) ?

SQ386.EXE
