=============================================
BlackHole is an inter-domain EchoMail gating
utility for FidoNet(R) technology based
networks (FTN's). It will NOT gate between
different zones in the same domain, nor
between FidoNet(R) systems and/or other
technologies such as UUCP.


IIRC, frank linhares also got a copy from me several years ago ;)

kinda wishing the source code was available... can only determine that the author is/was jim with a last name starting with 'L'... the docs don't contain many other clues... but it would be nice to have the package available cross-platform... the actual task is easy enough and somewhere in the FTSC library should be some sort of documentation describing what needs to be done... i don't recall anything specific, though... plus this program is/was the base to compare with for proper gating FTN<->FTN...
