-> I couldn't get the DOS version (I think 2.30?) to see the AREAS.DAT
-> file...should I have forced SILT to make the 2.0 files?

  Yes, once you do that everything will work a treat.  I had a couple of
regular users who were Bluewave addicts and they never had a problem.
For QWK you may need my upload repair program.  

-> The most annoying thing I've found with Max and QWK is that instead of using
-> the area tags, it uses a shortened (chopped!) version of the area's description
-> file.  I've tried to find a way around it with no luck.

  That is annoying.  The BW format is better anyway. ;)
