I use the same tool, as you know .  Best autoposting
tool I"ve found yet.

Was just looking through elist stuff here, and note a couple of things.

THe rules file name must be defined in the moderator update
message I note, so it takes its cue from that.

OF the echoes I moderate two have tags which could not be
readily converted to 8 x 3 file naming conventions.  OF
those two, one name is truncated to 8x3, i.e. live_audio
echo's rules file is live_aud.rul

The other, ml_baseball is a completely different filename,
i.e. ml_basbl.rul.

I note they're both appropriately named in the echolist
archive.
