 RJT> How does max deal with that?
Basically, the user just doesn't get the file.
 RJT> Any other pointers about setting up cdrom file areas?
Use SCDMAX.  Then, all you have to do is edit the descriptions for your
file areas in the new FILEAREA.CTL or CDAREA.CTL, or what have you.  It's
really easy.  Also, if you use BinkleyTerm you can make your CDs freqable
by using this verb in BINKLEY.CFG:
MaxAreas c:\max\area.dat
Yes, I know it's a 2.xx file area.  :)
