    ouch... updates used to add when the area didn't already exist... not sure if that was a bug or a feature, though... not even sure when it started working like that, either...

    This one is worse as it does exist and not sure why it was rejected but re-submitted it with some
    changes like keywords:
    FROM
    GROUP

    and LANG just in case.


    There is no reason why 5.1 cannot do that BUT if an update is allowed to ADD and it is caused by
    an error by the mod with a wrong TAG then fings can start getting tricky :)

    So not to happy allowing it but open to options.

    Have you made any progress on accepting email updates? I participate in
    an echo where the moderator does not have real access to netmail. I
    suppose until you fix that flaw, I could try to submit updates for him.

    However, I no longer know what form the updates should take nor where to
    send them. Can you post that info here once more? Thanks.

    I have posted the current elist help file despite the odd typo.

    If any one has a question or questions just say in ELIST so every one can see along with my answer/s.

    At least it will tell me where there are omissions in the help file and corect it.

    As to your question no, the only option for the moment is to send both file types tag.ECO and tag.RUL (if used) to me direct and my system will use them for additions, updates and deletions.

    Note for every one Deletions do not happen immediately but occur during the next WARNing cycle on the first day of each month. The same applies if I do a change by hand using the secondary program elist-maint which is an interactive update/add program. Heopfully I will not need to use it often other than the first few weeks unless I have a bug in the main program.

    I will give it a few weeks to settle down and try and find solutions that will allow me to call library code that supports C calls (in the C programming language) as my software althought written in a commercial programming language
    generates C that create the binary / executables. Hopefully you can understand that. These libraries or tools will do the work to send and receive netmails and read from a JAM message base all inbound requests but I have not even started seriously looking. One job at a time as it were.

    Thanks. I have saved that file and as soon as the moderator replies to
