In addition, the -J switch is also used to indicate JAM style areas. When using the "Export Squish like Area config", as a non-standard addition, JAM areas are also exported using this '-J' option, but each line is preceded with a ';' to make sure other programs ignore those lines. The "Import/Export" menu has another option, called "Import AREAS.BBS file", which is useful if you want to delete a certain node from a list of areas without using the normal 'tag & delete' options. You can use another program to prepare a file containing a list of areas that have to be added or deleted. When you select a file, you are asked for which user you want to make these modifications. The format of the input file:
+ARENA ; Add an area +CHESS.INT ; Add an area -POINTS.028 ; Delete an area .... ; etc etcNote: No '%' commands for normal AreaFix operation are available.
