The created archive contains amonst other files up to date copies of :
BACKBONE.NA    -  Full list of ALL echo's available via the Fidonet network
BACKBONE.RPT   -  Full lists of the same with all details as a report
ELIST.NA       -   Ditto but only for moderated echo's.
ELIST.RPT      -   Ditto

plus any other network files of similar types.

The previously last BACKBONE.NA was used as a reference to help build the
system in 2019.

All this is reported within the help files supplied.
