   I would think so. There's probably some perl or python script out there to   
   whip up an areas.bbs. Heck, I may even have it already (just looked, I do).   
      
   I just hope that it can export and import all the links without having to do   
   so manually. I probably have somewhere around 100, if not more. Doing that   
   manually is the main reason I haven't switched tossers yet. ;)

   That's definitely a plus. Manually having to change each and every one would   
   be a PITA.

   You're just using Linux, right? Wilfred can probably just give you his   
   binaries for fmail and ftools and off you go. I had to compile for ARM   
   (Raspberry Pi), which is really the only reason I had to do it myself, since   
   nobody had done it yet.   
      
   Regards,
