Hmmm.. So you don't know either??!?!?!?!?

When I selected a server, the action completed with an exit. So,  
I don't know what was supposed to happen.  I thought it would  
scan all echos on a per/server basis. But the "Yes" selection  
just quit abruptly.

True enough.  But I could reduce the work for myself by 50% by  
skipping every other release. I could reduce the work even  
further if I skip every 3rd one, and so on!   :D

I have a binary editor that operates with scripts. To search and  
replace could be part of a routine with a catalog of changes.
