Hi Vincent,

Are you hatching a new echo list every day?
This ensures that for those Sysop's that wish to keep up to date
for the file BACKBONE.NA can do so as this file is useful to auto
update their Echo areas when any downlinks request any and this
allows their system to automatically deal with the request
without any Sysop intervention.
You know there is (or used to be) a file area just for this purpose: BACKBONE (However the last BACKBONE.NA I received in there was in
2019)
If you used that one for the daily updates, you can keep the ECHOLIST
area "clean" with just monthly updates. And people have a choice what
they want to receive and use.
The created archive contains amonst other files up to date copies of : BACKBONE.NA - Full list of ALL echo's available via the Fidonet network BACKBONE.RPT - Full lists of the same with all details as a report
ELIST.NA - Ditto but only for moderated echo's.
ELIST.RPT - Ditto
plus any other network files of similar types.
The previously last BACKBONE.NA was used as a reference to help build the system in 2019.
All this is reported within the help files supplied.
