 That's probably true.  Several BBS software packages assign a specific
 BA> number to each echo and that's how the software refers to it internally

        When a packet is expanded. one of the files is docs.ptr as I
        stated before. When this file is viewed, you see a list of
        numbers. As you say, the first number in a row is the echo
        number. that is followed by a comma and than a quite large
        number. That following number seems to be a pointer of some sort
        but I can see no correlation between it and the number of
        messages in an echo, from packet to packet. One would expect to
        see that number increase in value but I'm not seeing that
        happen.

        Sure can waste a lot of valueable nap time messin' with this
        stuff!!
