Hello All!

The Elist facility that creates .RPT, .NA and .NO files for FIDO named ELIST.*
is available for all other networks and I am pleased to say that FSXNET has
joined in.

Although it was designed to be used with Echo areas that are moderated (or a
declared area manager) this is being expanded to also provide a Full list of
all echo's available by the inclusion of the entire backbone lists that do NOT
require such a need of a moderator - hence will not be listed under a defined
time limit.

Currently, the ELIST files only show active moderated echos but the same data
base base will also host ALL other echos not on the ELIST system so that all
areas can have a one stop shop for all sysop's to use as a tool to help
automation to autocreate any new echo into their system (providing their 
system
supports such).

Along with the ELIST.* files produced monthly into a archive {ELSTyymm.zip} is
the same set of file extensions for each other network stored where the file
name starts with the network name i.e., FSXNET.RPT, .NA and .NO if data
present.


All networks can send in their Echo area lists for inclusion to this master
database by sending direct to 2:250/1 or 2:25/21 where file name or archive
name starts with the network name.  The name of the main origin to send that
monthly archives to say in a netmail along with a password to use for session,
filemgr and areafix would also be a good idea :)
