Thanks for checking.

But it *is* true that if someone moderating an echo on an
othernet participated in Ben Ritchey's echo registration system,
it then got inlcuded in the distributed archive?
Is that what the DISTrib and GROUP tags are for?
eg.
GROUP scinet
DIST worlwide
I don't remember seeing other GROUPs (or nets) in those files
other than FIDO
