HI Marc,

following up a message from Richard Webb to Marc Lewis:


RW> Iirc the feed doesn't have the -x, but other addresses do.


RW> An example:

RW> I set a readonly echo, i.e. whitehouse to have the R flag.  IN my
RW> default node groups everyone has the r flag, but, note the
RW> difference. THat's the easiest way to do it, if you have an areafix
RW> program that will do that for you.  OTherwise whenever you add a
RW> downlink to that echo you'll have to manually edit squish.cfg to
RW> place the -x before that downlink's entry in the echoarea line. 


For example, my point 200 areafixes whitehouse.  HIs link in the echoarea line 
would appear as follows:

echoArea whitehouse <path> <flags> <feed> -x1:116/901.0 -x.200 ...

Becuase this point has the proper letter key for whitehouse not capitalized the 
-x flag is automatically added. Note that my entry does not.  I of course have 
all keys.

IN your case, you set up this echo, and provide me a link to it.  YOu of course 
could place the -x flag on my entry <g>.


HOpe that's clearer than my msg this morning.  I've had coffee since then <g>.

Note that my address shows up in the area definition line in squish.cfg because 
that way I can control my link to the echo with areafix through the command 
line.


This global control is one of the things I've found i like about this areafix 
program, as well as text file config.


Regards,
           Richard
