What is the ALT.* echoarea structure? Is that the similar internet usegroup which is found by search engines with 72000 threads and 2.000.000 posts?

If yes, then use the correct tools.

A newsgroup is designed according to RFC specifications and based on rfc tools. Fidonet is designed with the Fidonet Technology Standard and based on FTS tools like the husky suite. The FTS is a dinosaur that was created when the transferspeed was between 300 bit/s and 56kb/s and they had 8 bit computers like the C64 with 64kb RAM. Today we have 64bit computers at home and the first 1000 Mb/s connections are available and affordable for home users.

Speaking in pictures: You are trying to transport 1000 tons with a Lada Riva at once. That does not work and it's not the fault of the Riva.


If you would like to have clear log files this may help:

#!/bin/sh
sed -e /" has no control information: thrown from reply chain"/D hpt.log > 10
sed -e /" replying is not possible"/D 10 > 20
sed -e /" replies count for msg"/D 20 > 30
mv 30 hpt.log.`date +%y%m%d.%M`
rm 10
rm 20
