Hello Vince!

05 Mar 17 12:42, you wrote to all:

I don't think Michiel ever truly implemented passthru areas.  I looked back at 
the mbsetup code, and it doesn't appear that it ever allowed changing an 
existing area to BBS area 0.

Set the area to only keep 1 file.  That should minimize the amount of space 
consumed on your system.

 VC> Is this a bug introduced since 0.93/6 ?

No, I don't think it is.

Andrew
