Okay. It's easy enough to get a current listing for ECHOMAIL for
FidoNet, from the appropriate ECHOLIST file echo, but I'm trying now to get an actual FileEcho list for FidoNet, so I can get an up-to-date list of echos I can carry, and potentially offer for passthru.
First and foremost, where is this list obtainable from, and what file
echo tag is it under?

The file your looking for is filegate.zxx and it's in the fg_worf file area.
The rest I can't remember off the top of my head but looks like you just about have it.. :)

I did manage to find that much, and see the filegate.zxx, and yes, while I'm /almost/ there, I'm not sure... what format HTick is expecting. Does Htick support that zxx format? I'll be tinkering around with it, trying things out, since I'm using my point node internally to test against.

zxx is just an extension... the file is plain ascii text...

Heh heh.. I realize that, but does HTick support the filebone format.
I'll soon be finding out I guess, as I'm going to be testing it out
today. :)

The format used in filegate.zxx is the same format that has always been used for File Echos. Htick should import fine if I'm understanding what your asking here <g>

So, I finally got Htick setup to handle FileEcho forward requests. It lacks th
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.

It's no different than Filebone.na.
Did you try renaming the file from filegate.zxx to filebone.na?
That's BBBS makes me do <g>

No, because there is more information in the three fields following the tagname.
Try renaming the file to filebone.na, a lot of authors used that filename hardcoded in their apps.
Is there a publication of the filebone document format that I could
use for reference?

as i mentioned previously, it is the configuration file format for the origina
