Hello everybody!

The system as on the release on 1st October (since updated) reports that some echos will be deleted soon - In fact this is wrong and should (and will) say that they will be migrated as no echo's are now deleted unless a Backboned echo
is dead etc in which case it will be - deleted that is.

The save software change has removed the WARNING messages for echos that have been migrated but in some cases will not resolve fully until the next months roll over on 1st November - I hope as some data fields were not zeroised at that point.

Likewise the BACKBONE.RPT file will not contain erroneous messages at the end about Warnings , migrations but the ELIST.RPT may well do so prior to any migration run.


About the migration process - Any applicable echo will have various data fields
cleared or reset on the migration such as Date-Deleted to zero with Mod, Comods, From to elistmaint address and password changed along with any rules file deleted as it is no longer needed.

All other information is retained including the descriptions.


Currently all the above only applies to group FIDO and any other networks being
supported are not so listed or migrated nor are they in the BACKBONE.NA file.

If any of you have any thought on that let me know and the possible reasons etc.

I must admit I did think a wee bit about this as I could think of some good reasons to do so BUT if there are any networks that do not use English as their
primary language it will make it some what tricky to read / understand what each is :)

I can't see the need for this to happen for fsxNet listings. Hope that helps.
