It will go into the next days no-demand archive.

I will be looking at the code to see why there is so many updates going out in
the on-demand archives.

It should not be so frequent, it is possibly there is a coding error for what
is changed.

It was for the following changes :

1.  A  new echo created.
2.  A echo for which a change to the Title has been made.
3.  A echo for which a change to the description has been made.

The third one I think can be killed off as I have never found a BBS package
that make use if it, say by displaying it to a user only by user option of the
rules and includes mbse as used here.

The second (rules), I would suggest is also not really that important and can
wait for the next months archive.

So only new echos added should be in the On-Demand facility.

I will look at the code today, change and do initial testing and pass it to
the
elist system for a compile and update the current version.

This will reduce the number of updates.

It is possible there is a bug that is causing this issue on any new code added
over the last month or so, in which case I will fix it.

I will also look at adding code to generate a BACKBONE.NA file for the file
area BACKBONE to go out monthly and may be, on demand.

The elist system does NOT get new echo's added that often so on both the above
cases should not produce a high incidence of new BACKBONE.NA files during a
month.

However, the test will be to see exactly what happens when in production.

I am guessing that the high run of these on-demand archives over the last week
or so is because of echo;s changing the moderator / co-moderator but this
should NOT be a reason for these archives to be created - again could be a bug
in the code. I will be taking a look at it all.
