|    Changing a file tic area to passthru    |

      Hello Vince!              05 Mar 17 12:42, you wrote to all:               VC> According to the docs for File tic area set up .4 setting 0 will mark        VC> area as passthru only BUT it will not accept zero, at least on an        VC> existing area.              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.               VC> Want to do so on Daily nodelists that I have no use for (cannot see        VC> the point of them) but need to get them for downlinks.              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              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20161221        * Origin: Phoenix BBS * phoenix.bnbbbs.net (1:320/219)    |
