 DM> It's the name of the channel. The text inbetween [ and ] in my rss.ini
 DM> file.
                              
[1]     [BNB-RSS]
[2]         sub=RSS
[3]         title=BNB News and Views
[4]         image_link=http://BNB.synchro.net


Line 1 is an identifier tag, it could be called anything, as long as
       it's consistant with the announced link.[A]

Line 2 is the source of RSS. It's a sub in the SMB database.

Line 3 Is the title that will appear in the RSS reader.

Line 4 Haven't a clue what/why?


Do I have any of these close (accept #4, of course)?


So, to send text (or more accuratly, have text ready/available) I post messages
to
RSS sub, in my case in the RSS group, which could just as easily been in
the Main group, or any group choosen. And if anyone has access (via the
BBS) they can have their messages also RSS ready/available.



BTW, editing such files as RSS.INI doesn't get detected by SBBS and
cause a reload, does it?

Will RSS become a full-fledged service in v4?
