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.
