* An ongoing debate between mark lewis and Ben Ritchey rages on ...
ml { over here... this is also one reason why the MOD UPDs for these areas
ml { have had a empty RUL line in them for the last decade+... with the old
ml { system, they would have been flushed after some period of time of not
ml { being updated by a MOD RUL...
My current efforts are to allow .RUL files where needed. I haven't thought out
the whole process yet. All I know is with the old Echobase 3.48 the Mod Rul
submissions VERY often crashed EB and corrupted the Database beyond repair, so
I dropped the little used Rule sub-system from EList v4 entirely at first.
I figured a simpler option for this would suffice, but the new RULE keyword is
instead being used to store file names or "None", so I migrated the old Rule
files over and added a status check on the report for now.
Where it goes from here is entirely up to the users of the Echolist. Let me
know what you'd like to see and I'll come up with something. I'll also have to
read up on Mod Rul to see what it did before, besides corrupting the database
so often! lol :)
