    ..OK, those are the file areas. And they contain a convenient
    way to "view" and even E(x)tract the archives. Very nice!

    Yes and a very quick and handy way of reading such things as
    FidoNews.


    I was getting settled to hook up with the fnews_publish echo that only contained
    the newsletter separated into separate messages for each page of the edition. Sometimes I am just interested to go directly to a specific heading/section.

    But since the "09 Mar 2020: edition, the auto-posts stopped. :(

    In this case, the more reliable delivery would be the file echo.

    OXP to the rescue.

    I'm getting the weekly publications in the FNEWS_PUBLISH area just fine!?

    Bye, Wilfred.

    Maybe it's just the JamNNTP feed. Hey Tommi.. Wassup wid dat?

    Last entry by the Fidonews Robot is "09 Mar 2020" issue.
    Then, there is one last post, Subject: WebPoint Veleno BBS, on Mar 12.

    I thought that maybe someone decided to abrogate the echo.

    I killed the area, the same messages are posted weekly in FIDONEWS echo.

    I thought that maybe someone decided to abrogate the echo.
