    EList v4 is a database program that maintains a database of
    echomail conference information. This particular program was
    written to meet the need to maintain and distribute echomail
    conference lists within FIDONet.

    The FIDONet echolists published by this program include
    ELIST.NA, a short, areafix uplink file format distributed
    monthly and ELIST.RPT, a longer descriptive file distributed on
    a monthly basis.

    Moderators may add or update entries to the list by writing to
    ECHOLIST (or ELIST). The program will read the message and
    update the EList database, then post a reply to the ELIST
    conference and optionally via Email (Note: the Reply-to keyword
    overrides the FROM Email if present).

    Address netmail messages

    Updates via Email are also available via echolist@filegate.net

    and use the following keywords to set the fields of your echolist
    submission.


    TAGname <areatag> x36
    TITLe <brief area description> x72
    DESCription <description of the echo> 15 lines x75
    RULES <description of the rules> 20 lines x75

    A sample message might have this in the text

    TAG ECHOES
    TITLE FIDONet echoes discussion
    MOD Joe Sysop, 1:393/68
    DESC Discussions about echoes
    DESC and moderators
    GROUP FIDO
    ---

    The keywords are truncated prior to checking, so matching will
    only be done for the capitalized portion of the keyword.
    Keywords may be capitalized or lowercase. The following three
    entries will have the same effect.

    TAG BOARD_GAMES
    Tagname BOARD_GAMES
    tag BOARD_GAMES

    Optionally end the message with three-dashes indicating the end of
    the message. With the exception of the DESCription and RULEs fields,
    only one entry is allowed per field. If multiple entries are included
    in the message, processing will continue but only the last one
    will be saved. If you don't have an entry for a field, there is
    no need to include the keyword (specifying JUST the keyword will
    erase/blank any existing value(s). Only the areatag and password
    is necessary for updating.

    Update submissions to the echolist that don't require any changes
    may be done by including just the areatag, and PASSword.
    Full details already in the database will remain the same. New
    listings will require areatag, title, moderator and password.

    In order to delete an area from the list, you should use
    the subject MODerator DELete (or MOD DEL).

    When submitting an entry with DESC or RULES fields, be sure to begin
    each line with DESC or RULES and end it with a hard carriage return.

    (Some editors may word wrap all messages and strip carriage returns
    when saving. Some of these editors, however, may allow you to
    force carriage returns by indenting.)

    NOTE: blank lines after DESC or RULES keywords will RESET everything
    to null, as with all text based keywords.


    Address any questions to Ben Ritchey at 1:1/21, 1:393/68, the
    ECHOLIST echo itself or via Email to <fido4cmech@lusfiber.net>.
