Sorry for the misinfo about only DOS EXE.  It is the only one that works
for me because I run it in the after-call cleanup of the BBS BAT...which is
DOS for me on either the true DOS BBS node or the OS2 telnet/vmodem node in
VDM.  I also have some added personal confusion over having installed 2
different Echofix programs with different purposes into the same
destination dir before getting the one I was really after. 

Since I have multiple boxes/multiple OSes/multiple mail doors, I have each
door create an echotoss log (required arg by echofixd) which lists only the
tags they uploaded to, and an IF EXIST in the post-processing to call
echofixd, SQUISH OUT w/echotoss log parm, and then kill echotoss.  No
uploads/no invocation, only affected areas are "fixed", only in
the event that a door user uploaded messages. Echofix doesn't keep it's own
private lastreads and tries to fix the whole area on each run...so you
don't want to waste time fixing areas that weren't uploaded to by the door
or running against the mass of areas that may or may not be in echotoss log
with normal mailer sessions.

I use single-pass in my mailer-triggered event, so might miss some gotchas
for multi-pass.

In theory, the highwater should only be adjusted when scanning OUT.  If
you're using an echotoss log there, you probably don't want to use it to
invoke Echofix, since you don't need to fix everything that comes in from
your uplink/downlinks (or stuff you entered yourself via your local
editor).  As long as you configure your mail door(s) to create a unique
(path and/or filename) one as users upload via the door, you should be use
that as the Echofix argument (and cleanup afterwards) in the middle of your
util block between an IN and an OUT run of Squish.
