 WvV> I educated myself when I was wondering about these flags. ;-)

 WvV> Bark is described in this document: http://ftsc.org/docs/fts-0008.003

 DC> I'm unable to find any info on that.

 WvV> I started on the ftsc website, and searched for 'bark'...

 WvV> Btw: Wazoo file requests are described in:
 WvV> http://ftsc.org/docs/fts-0006.002

 WvV> And that basically is sending .req files. And as any mailer can send

 WvV> request processor.

 DC> Also how can we tell that BinkIT/FreqIT cannot do update requests

 WvV> I tested this, and later confirmed it with Rob.

 DC> General info on Bark/WaZOO would also be nice to read about.

 WvV> See above...
