Hi Nicholas,

On 2024-03-30 08:54:26, you wrote to me:

It says so in the bottom line description for the function:

"Import descriptions from Backbone.NA into fmail.ar"

On the other hand the areas.bbs import I think should create areas, judging
from the description:

"Convert Areas.BBS into fmail.ar"

But that is a more complex file format, then the simple .na format.

Apparently... ;-)

But there are also import functions for a number of other config files of
other tossers.


Bye, Wilfred.
