 RW> Hi folks!  Was wonering if there was a utility that 
 RW> would update message area descriptions in the 
 RW> MSGAREA.CTL file with teh full "proper" names from the 
 RW> the Fido BACKBONE.NA file?  The reason I ask is because 
 RW> I have all the message areas listed in my BBS with just 
 RW> the echo tags and not with the full message echo names 
 RW> as well.  I carry the complete Z1 backbone and would 
 RW> HATE to have to go back in MANUALLY and key in all the 
 RW> area descriptions.

 RW> Any pointers/advice anyone can give me would be very much appreciated!
