Subj : File Echos, HTick, FwdFile Question

Okay. It's easy enough to get a current listing for ECHOMAIL for FidoNet, from
the appropriate ECHOLIST file echo, but I'm trying now to get an actual
FileEcho list for FidoNet, so I can get an up-to-date list of echos I can
carry, and potentially offer for passthru.

First and foremost, where is this list obtainable from, and what file echo tag
is it under?

Second question is actually in relation to Husky Tools's HTick, and how to get
it to support using some file to list available passthru areas available, (or
merged as-if they're all available already, either way). 

I read in the fidoconfig documentation itself that there is FwdFile for
fidonet.na formatted files, but this seems to likely be for echomail, maybe
fileechos. If it does both (which doesn't seem right, but possible either way),
I suppose it could be useful in that regards in my setup since I split my htick
out into seperate configuration files as it is, so if htick module is in use,
it uses specific config files related to just htick, including ftn-fileecho
links. Is there another option I should be looking at?

In further looking, in the htick.html itself, I see ForwardFileRequestsFile,
which looks more promising to be for fileechos themselves. So, I guess I just
answered my own question while typing this. LOL

Though, I still need to know where to find said fidonet.lst I for all the
FidoNet FileEchos available, and what format it should be in, if anything
different than what's available for said fileecho list file, hopefully
containing echo tags and descriptions of each.
