     EList v4 is a database program that maintains a database of
     echomail conference information.  This particular program was
     written to meet the need to maintain and distribute echomail
     conference lists within FIDONet.

     The FIDONet echolists published by this program include
     ELIST.NA, a short, areafix uplink file format distributed
     monthly and ELIST.RPT, a longer descriptive file distributed on
     a monthly basis.

     Moderators may add or update entries to the list by writing to
     ECHOLIST (or ELIST).  The program will read the message and
     update the EList database, then post a reply to the ELIST
     conference and optionally via Email (Note: the Reply-to keyword
     overrides the FROM Email if present).

     Address netmail messages

     To:   ECHOLIST, (1:1/21)

     Updates via Email are also available via echolist@filegate.net

     submission.
