Where should it be, and what should it contain? Bob has a nice explanation in his INFO.TXT file on LEGATO. Got it...Thanks! -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

We really need another mailing list for "people who don't freak out when they...oh, you know, receive email". I'd start one myself but Johnny seems a bit territorial about HECnet stuff. (I don't blame him for that..) I run a lot of mailing lists here already. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

Actually DON'T do this. Tried on CHIMPY::, it broke the LIBRARY parser somehow. sampsa On 30 Dec 2012, at 12:22, sampsa at mac.com wrote: Quick idea re: HLP/INFO.TXT files: If you format your INFO.TXT file like a HLP file, it'll automagically be processed and look like a proper VMS help file - however due to the fact that the info.txt puller adds a 2 <NODENAME> section heading, all your sections should be 3 or deeper. So for example, CHIMPY's INFO.TXT could (and will) look like this: ---- SNIP ---- Welcome to CHIMPY::, part of the SAMPSACOM network. 3 Active users Currently active users for email include: SAMPSA DAVIDSON 3 Guest logons We offer the following guest logons: ACCOUNT - Use this to request an account on CHIMPY:: B4BBS - Gateway to the SAMPSACOM Bulletin Board System, B4BBS.

the INFO.TXT thing is a bit of a hack really. Didn't you invent the INFO.TXT idea back around 2009 or so? I could swear it was your idea, and Zane Healy had a WWW real time listing of active nodes on avanthar.com back then. Somebody else was doing a map, but I can't remember who. I'm sure you know that every couple of years somebody comes up with a grand scheme to map and index HECnet. It goes for a while and then looses steam, and then a couple of years later somebody re-invents the idea over again. Bob

This idea of this list is for people to get help with HECnet, talk around hecnet, and things that might be related. Output from automated jobs don't at all fit into this. Either we can create another list for that kind of stuff, or mail it directly to those who might be interested. I second this, as it seems the output emails are a bit frequent. ;) I think I'd object even if it was infrequent. The idea of the list is for human to human interaction. Johnny
