I wasn't talking about Netmail FREQ's, those are pretty straight forward. Fido has a "filefind" echo... that's what I'm talking about. I was reviewing Allfix last evening (briefly) and saw it can also scan a PKT, which would be good to do before Synch tosses, have it create a text file then SMBUTIL can drop it into the correct echo as a reply IF the file was found on the system. I don't know if the file Allfix creates is an actual "reply" or just a TXT file where you can add a .HDR or even if it is needed. Naturally, the "filelist" would have to be updated after every tic is processed. :) NB> As for actually receiving a file you have requested, I would guess that NB> the mailer would just pull the file out of the directory it resides in, NB> without even having to read any of the Synchronet That's the way I would say it works...

Sounds good... thank you and I'll take a look. Be well...
