MBSE is the complete fido sstem with all in it and it getting more ad more
updated now, but is only Jam format echo style. It can even do news server,
lists and clients, manage web too.
Importing news and list to fido echoes, and it is what I have to do for zone 900.

THere is some special newsgroups and list there not is in Fido, where i
have t do it this way so a news client ad fiogate shall do this work for
me.

the hust pl or just pl files can for linux do mail reports and other kind
of report making and then can hpt then post the files into a echo or
netmail.

I have tried to write a pl file there should rename the echo tag but it
have not yet worked for me by stopes by 2 syntax errors. Te file has been
told and show in linux echo.

 MK>What else?
