Hello Bob!



 ML> I have the following enabled in my BINKLEY.CFG files:
 ML> MaxAreas C:\MAX\FAREA.DAT

 BJ> Bink 2.60 currently only reads a Max 2.0x format AREA.DAT file.  Do
 BJ> a "SILT -2a" to create one, and substitute AREA.DAT for FAREA.DAT
 BJ> in the above line. 

Thanks, Bob, that works just fine.  Are there any side effects/complications
caused by running the Silt max -2a command?  Also, as I see it, after a TIC
run by my mailtosser, it would seem required to do:

                        FB -s -a
                        SILT MAX -2a

since running FB -s -a by itself apparently does nothing to update the
AREA.DAT genereated by SILT.   Is this correct? 

Best regards,
Marc
