                        Welcome to The World
                                of
                  SPITFIRE BBS FileEcho Distribution

Purpose: This file is to help inform you and/or your users of this
         FileEcho Support for one of the Greatest BBS programs today.

Setup: The system is setup to hatch (send) files related to the SPITFIRE
       Bulletin Board Program through a network and recieve files to
       send through the same (Tick operation).
       The files come from Buffalo Creek Software and various Authors of
       Utilities. They are then sent from 1:3617/4.0 (Fidonet) to
       Various Support Sites:
       1:209/236 Craig Castleberry - West Coast
       1:116/29  Kevin Snively - FileBone (FidoNet)
       1:343/124 Kim Boone  - Guam Feed
       1:3607/40 Mike Weaver - Europe Feed

Files: Any File related to SPITFIRE is eligible for distribution. If you
       have a unique setup that SF is working with and want others to
       see how it is setup that file can be Hatched.
       Please follow the following when sending files:
       Please Send the files intact (Unaltered).
       Please Use ZIP at all possible.
            If the recieving systems want to post it in a different
            format that is fine. BUT, if you are sending to Downlinks
            please use the original file to send to them.
            Easy to do if using ALLFIX.
       It is up to each system to verify the integrity of the files.
            Everyone from Mike Woltz to the Filebone and in between
            try and make sure that each file contains no Virus. But the
            final responsibilty is Yours.
       Documentation Please!
            Please Include some form of documentation where the person
            using the program can have some help. Even if it is a simple
            program that any 5 year can operate. Some of us don't have
            access to a 5 year old to explain it to us <G>.
       FILE_ID.DIZ should be used.
            With the work Mike Woltz (and some Authors) has done to make
            SF suipport of this File_ID files within the ZIP is
            wonderful. I have to manually type in the Description to
            each File Hatched through the system and have to use
            whatever can be found as a description.

download from most Spitfire type Boards. I only Feed A few Boards and
most Call my system for the files.

Dispclaimer: I have no Financial gain from this. Mike Woltz doesn't pay
     me Nor any Author. The system is ran totally out of pocket. So
     therefore I have to do my Paying Job first and SFD second.
