   I have this one saved:   
      
                                 AreaFix v1.30 User Guide   
                             originally by Jeffrey J. Nonken   
      
   That's used by Bjorn. He called it the original AreaFix. It works about the   
   same as d'Bridge with options (like -R -L and -Q) on the command line after   
   the password.

   I know BBBS is a bit different, but I have no link with a BBBS system, so I   
   don't know the details. But besides those above I don't know any that don't   
   conform more or less to the method described in the fsc proposal.   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
