   1.  The Elist is about 70% of its previous size, and many of the
   associated files have disappeared.

   2.  All page formatting headers and footers were removed.

   3.  A requirement for unique echo tags was implemented, with the
   result that all Echo Keys could be eliminated.

   4.  All echoes which were updated more than 8 months ago were
   removed.

   5.  All duplicate echo tags were removed, using a first-come
   first-served approach as described in the ELMOD695 issue.

   6.  Many of the cross-index and other related files were eliminated
   since over time they had grown to become too large for cost-effective
   distribution of the files.

   7.  The ELMODnnn.TXT file is now included in the distribution archive
   of ELISTnnn.LZH and is renumbered accordingly.  Along with the new
   ELFAQnnn.TXT file, this provides all help files automatically with
   the distribution ELIST archive.
