Hello Michiel.

Sh*t! I have a lot of files to import! Can I edit the files.bs by hand and 
have mbse see the new description?

It would be nice to see it!At the moment I'm having to do file area's like:

1: Amiga: Utils
2: Amiga: Patches
etc..


Btw: any change of an option to use long file names for the files, instead of 
the DOS 8.3 way of thinking? A lot of my files are longer than 8.3 (ie: 
Linux/Amiga files).

I'll let you know. I downloaded a new full zone3 nodelist, so I could get the 
system backup on freebsd (was linux). I will have some news after saturday, 
when the diff gets here.

It could be just the change from Linux to FreeBSD.
