Yes, I do use 'ftools addnew -A'.

I run Fmail/Ftools only in linux. FConfig only in windows :D.
All paths in FConfig are in windows format:
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────
│ Area name FMAIL_HELP
│ Comment FMAIL_HELP
│ JAM MB name \bbs\fmail\msgbase\jam\fmail_help
If I try to enter "/", FConfig will change it to "\".

Of course I also made the conversion "\" -> "/" in my converter. Also
in linux Golded.cfg I have "mappath \ /".
But it was strange that at the same time areas.bbs and areas.gld have
different separator. :)
