What I had at the time was:


Tag    !_FILES_FOR_POINT_200
Spec   *.*°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Desc   /GET
Days   SMTWTFS
Repl
Mgic
Always No
Copy   No





I changed it to:

Tag    !_FILES_FOR_POINT_200
Spec   C:\BBS\HATCH.DIR\POINT.200\*.*
Desc   /GET
Days   SMTWTFS
Repl
Mgic
Always No
Copy   No


after ALLFIX did that.  I thoight ALLFIX would use the Path from the area.

Not it says Spec,  NOT Path & Spec

Just pointing out a problem.
