The Elist bot is pretty good. Users can be steered to grab a
copy of the ELSTxxxx.xip file on their preferred fido BBS, or
they can take a look inside a recent Fidogazette for the sorted/
unsorted table.
It would be neat if there was a kind of ECHOFIND service (akin
to FILEFIND) that would return matches for a specific topic that
people are looking for.

There is nothing else comparable to the list in Janis'
Fidogazette.
Good to hear that your system can process them all if needed.
