    Ahhh... ok. Was wondering as it seems to get overwritten everytime sbbsecho runs with new information losing the previous data.

    SBBSecho loads the contents of the echostats.ini into memory, updates
    it, and then writes it back to the file. If you make modifications to
    the file (e.g. add comments) they will be lost when SBBSecho saves the file again. No "previous data" should otherwise be lost.

    OK.. I'll keep an eye on it. Does it also record pass-thru areas?
