Subj : Echo additional usage suggestion

Hello All!
Once I have finished first draft of coding for the elist program to support
backbone lists i.e., BACKBONE.NO, may be .NA and .RPT I need to have an area
to
to report on changes to individual echo's.
Now the most obvious changes are where any one can add a Description to a echo
where none exists as initially these will be blank as I do not have a source
for these as all that is available is Echo Tag name and Title.
To that end I will post these announcements (very similar to that in ELIST)
here but there will be some differences in that the entry will not auto expire
if not updated (as will do that within software), MOD name will all be
elistmaint, 2:25/21 and is the name that will be checked for within the
program
to prevent such expiring messages being issued.
These echo areas will have no password in (at least initially - unless abused)
but it would allow any one to provide a Description for them if interested.
These descriptions would go in the .RPT file along with the other two and be
issued on or after the first of the month.
These report files would also include the one's that appear via ELIST.* etc
but
with no Rules file content - make the .RPT file very long winded.
All the above is subject to programming and your comments as otherwise will
have to create a new Echo area for the purpose.
Comments or observations ?
