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.
