I remember reading your post in FTSC_PUBLIC. I wonder if you went ahead and 
implemented that in SBBSecho and published the details in the wiki if it would 
be implemented in other software?

I know that wiki.synchro.net is well know as a source of FTN and BBS info.

I think a lot of FTN/BBS developers worry about compatibility issues (a real 
concern) so might like the idea but worry about things like that.

If you could come up with a "standard" of some sort it might just catch on. :)
