   Changing a file tic area to passthru

   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.
