<P>
<H3>File Areas introduction.</H3>
<P>
This is the setup for the file areas in which users can up and download files.
This database has fixed area numbers, the database can't be packed. This is
done because areas can point to other areas and users are "used" to use
areas by number. Also the .tic areas reference the file areas by record
numbers. Extending the database is allways possible. One important note,
before you can set this up, you need to define the <A HREF="newgroups.html">
newfiles groups</A>.

<strong>Files.bbs </strong>The full path and filename if this area is on CDROM.
You may leave this blank if it is in the Path together
with the files.
<strong>Available </strong>If this area is available. If you make an available
area unavailable the area is checked if there are
downloadable files in that area. If so, you can't remove
the area. If there are none you will be asked if you are
sure. After the area is made unavailable, the record is
filled with reasonable default values.

other utilities because the Path is read-only.

<strong>Upload </strong>Alternate upload area. If a user uploads a file in this
area, it will be placed in the alternate area. If the
value is zero, the file will be placed in the current
file area. On CD-rom areas you must not leave this zero
unless you set the upload security level so high that
nobody can upload in this area.
