it was that at one time areafix was a separate program from the tosser and
relied on the tosser's comfig files to perform its job... then some tosser
authors integrated areafix directly into their programs...

yup.. that's the really old-school way and it is quite limited as well...

BBBS uses a regex format and it does both file and message areas all in one...
there is a way to do only messages or only file areas but just a plain
+foo
or such can easily result in you getting file areas (TICs) you weren't looking
for...

such as it is, it is a good attempt... hopefully it won't be used like other
proposals and standards to try to beat others into some sort of submission...
