Htick should import fine if I'm understanding what JK> your asking here So, I finally got Htick setup to handle FileEcho forward requests. It lacks the ability to %LIST them in the listing, but it does send the requester an acknowledgement netmail to say it's been forwarded when it's validated for the uplink. The problem is, the htick doesn't understand the filegate.zxx format, so when using that file as the filefixFwdFile, requests get replied back with "no uplinks to forward". When I converted a partial of the file to the echomail-style NA format, TAGDESC, it works just fine. With that said.. Would it be reasonable to request that the filegate.zxx be published in the same format as echomail.na files, so that automation could be easily obtained for systems like this? Yes, I could make a tool to convert the file myself, and likely I will, but that will take some time to write that tool, make it extract from the fg_worf archives as they come in, process the conversion, drop it down in the place it needs to be. An alternative would be to write some tool to convert it one time for the publishing end, and just distribute it like that simaltaneously. :) Lemme know your thoughts on this. )))[Psi-Jack -//- Decker] ....
