Don't be fooled by the filename's extension.. ZXX refers to All Zones (as in "distributed in all Zones), as opposed to NA which for the filebone.na file, refered to North America. The file is not archived. I guess I could change the filename to FILEGATE.GLO for Global ?? > it's a heck of a lot easier to deal >with that way... serialization? comment line in the top of the file? but pleas > keep the raw file's filename consistant each week... It's not archived, but is indeed a text file and the filename is the exact same each week.

Here's a funny tidbit: Adam Strack named this file echo when we were setting up the Filegate.. "FileGate: World's Only Reliable Files" (also a play on Worf, a character in the StarTrek Next Generation Series) - he was also a fan of Star Trek at the time.. but, one day when Star Trek's DATA came in to USRobotic HQ in Skokie, Adam didn't recognize him without his makeup.. and brushed him off as a just some "guy" :) He was pretty upset with himself Take care, Janis --- BBBS/LiI v4.01 Flag-3 * Origin: Prism bbs (1:2320/38) .
