HI Marc,
following up a message from Richard Webb to Marc Lewis:
Iirc the feed doesn't have the -x, but other addresses do.
An example:
I set a readonly echo, i.e. whitehouse to have the R flag. IN my
default node groups everyone has the r flag, but, note the
difference. THat's the easiest way to do it, if you have an areafix
program that will do that for you. OTherwise whenever you add a
downlink to that echo you'll have to manually edit squish.cfg to
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
