Yes, I've been using allfix since 94' that started with FD/RA, also other bbs
packages, Allfix supports 32 BBSES plus (1-other) #255 (everything else). As
you probably all ready know it has other added utilities. Fcomp is just one of
them.
        FCOMP is a  utility that compiles BBS file area configurations into
        a  format that ALLFIX can read.  FCOMP is not necessary for ALLFIX!
        for WildCat, since  this type only supports one  BBS. It was stated
        earlier that  ALLFIX  does not  need configuration  files from  any
        other program.  ALLFIX will function properly without  the BBS file
        area information, however, a  number of features are not  available
        unless FCOMP has been run. 

The BBS file area information is used for three things:
- FileFind  replies require that the BBS  file areas are scanned
  for files. 

- New file reports  for new files  uploaded to your  BBS require
  that the BBS file areas are scanned for new files.

- If the  BBS  system does  not use  a  FILES.BBS file  database
  system, then ALLFIX needs to  be able to determine which  file
  area needs to be updated when a file is being imported.

The  advantage of using  an external  compiler is that  support for other BBS
programs  can sometimes  be added  by  simply making  an update of FCOMP as
opposed to releasing a new version of ALLFIX.

FCOMP  creates a file  called FILEAREA.FIX  which is stored  in the     
system directory. The information  stored in FILEAREA.FIX needs  to be updated
when changes are made to the file area configuration in the BBS. Running 
FCOMP multiple times  will not affect  the ALLFIX configuration unless areas,
needed by ALLFIX, are removed  from the BBS configuration. Adding  areas in
the BBS configuration  will not require any maintenance in the ALLFIX
configuration.

FCOMP requires two command line options.
The first  option  is the  number associated  with  the BBS  system      
0 RemoteAccess 1.11
1 SuperBBS
2 QuickBBS
3 Maximus 2.0x
4 Ezycom
5 ProBoard
6 RemoteAccess 2.xx
7 Renegade* 4.16
8 PCBoard 15.xx
9 SpitFire*
10 Telegard* 2.17
11 TriBBS*
12 EzyCom 1.10
13 Tag
14 Renegade* v04-05
15 RemoteAccess 2.5x/EleBBS
16 SearchLight* (Not available in ALLFIX/2)
17 TBBS*  (Specify path  and filename of file  area configuration file)
18 LoraBBS 2.40*
19 Telegard 3.0
20 TriBBS 10.x*
21 SynchroNet BBS 2.x*
22 Maximus 3.0x
23 Concord 0.01 gamma 3
24 QuickBBS 2.76used.
25 ShotGun Professional 1.38
26 Terminate BBS
27 Magic BBS
28 PowerBBS
29 AdeptXBBS 1.11+ (Only available in ALLFIX/2 and ALLFIX/U)
30 BBBS* (FCOMP will process all filedirg.??? files)
31 Tornado BBS
32 Telegard BBS 3.10

255 Scan fileechos

The  second  option that  FCOMP  needs  is  the  path  to  the  BBS 
configuration files.  This second  parameter is not  necessary when
you choose to scan the fileechos.

In this case ME! Example: FCOMP 255 C:\MYSTIC\DATA
