Subj : New elist program about to start testing

Hello All!

Having finished programming a new version of elist I am about to start
functional testing (and after system) and to this end require 'imput' :)

Over the next two posts I will supply an temporary updated version of the
elisthlp file followed by the current copy of the README-Elist file that
details changes to keywords and an updated procedure to passing MOD-ADD, UPD
and DEL data and here due to current program status (see later) I can only
take this data in the form of text files send direct to my system with the 
file
name as Echotag.RUL, i.e., for echo mbse the file is MBSE.RUL and for
additions, updates and deletes as text files with the file name of
echotag.ECO,i.e., for mbse it is MBSE.ECO.

As you can see the filename and extension is all upper case.

Extra keywords or usage is needed (see next two postings) but first line 
should
be
SUBJ MOD-XXX (where XXX is ADD, UPD or DEL)
FROM moderators (or a registered Co-mod) network address in the form
     firstname last name, (optional) zone:net/node@fidonet
GROUP FIDO
LANG  ENGLISH

For the others including COMODn and changes to COMOD see the next posts of
notes.

Any issues regarding these please place a question or two here so every one 
can
see the problem  as it is my mistakes in documentation changes at this early
stage :)

If a question is needed then a doc change is needed as well!


Please send in these files as file attach / send via your mailer etc for help
in testing. They will form the Elist  Database after testing for future use.

I can only accept the .ECO and .RUL files as I have no facilities yet for
reading my systems JAM netmail system - Need to find open area, close area,
read next area message source code that has a C callable interface as it will
be called by a C coded program - well that is the final compiling language.

I have no problems posting messages to here (ELIST) and to netmail direct.
email support is a long way off at the moment again need to find the right
tools, libraries etc.

Thanks,


Vince
