Hello Moderator, my 2 cents...
 BB>Please add this to the Echo Rules, James.
 M> No need to, it's not prohibited.
    In general it is. This echo is an exception. :)
 M> Anyway, I'd like to restrict the methods to UUE and Zip..
    Another reason to cover it in the rules.
    I used Lha because in another echo it was recommended because it's free.
    However, I believe the use of pkUnzip is also free.
    When using UUE, do you encourage the use of the -x option? (xxe)

    IMHO, file_id.diz are a real convenience to organizing files.
    I don't see it as a BBS issue.
    When compacted in the zip it may add 25-300 bytes.
    Without it, all that text has to be put in the sourcecode.
    Well, it may be there anyway, but I use the diz to make a descript.ion
    automatically, so I find a diz valuable.
    Sorry about including the .com file. That was a mistake.
    Hope you continue as moderator, James.
Kind regards, Barry
