Look at file area ECHOLIST and the monthly (and sometimes daily if an new echo
added) for the files :
ELSTyymm.ZIP for the monthly issued around 1/2 of the month, where yy = year,
mm = month.
Occasional daily ELyymmdd.ZIP (dd = day #) content same as ELSTyymm.ZIP but as
and when needed - would update the previous monthly archive for rules,
descriptions and report type txt files ending in .NA and .RPT.
I send these out to around 30 different systems.
These archives contain a folder for all of the current rules and a folder for
all of the Echo descriptions sub divided by /descriptions/NETWORK/ECHO
All rules stored in folder rules.
Archive also contains current copies of ELIST.RPT, ELIST.NA and for ALL
fido echos BACKBONE.NA and BACKBONE.RPT.
