Hey, do what you need to do... I'm not going anywhere.. :)

I wasn't talking about Netmail FREQ's, those are pretty straight forward.  Fido
has a "filefind" echo... that's what I'm talking about.  I was
reviewing Allfix
last evening (briefly) and saw it can also scan a PKT, which would be good to
do before Synch tosses, have it create a text file then SMBUTIL can drop it
into the correct echo as a reply IF the file was found on the system. I don't
know if the file Allfix creates is an actual "reply" or just a
TXT file where
you can add a .HDR or even if it is needed.  Naturally, the
"filelist" would
have to be updated after every tic is processed. :)

That's the way I would say it works...

Sounds good... thank you and I'll take a look. 

Be well...
