	When I was working with Opus 1.73a with Squish, I used a 3rd
party package to deal with areafix. In fact... it was called areafix
;). Sadly there is no standalone areafix for Linux. I am thinking of
seeing if I could port maximus to a libc5 system? Got to get that
box out of storage though, its a Slackware 3.9 system. Amazingly I ran
Setiathome on it. along with Cnews (B'ichela's version, of course.)
but I Noticed looking at the vars.* files in the root of the maximus
tree that it uses pthreads. I said to myself (uh oh! Libc5 is not
thread safe. I would need to find a work around. Not exactly a high
priority. first I want to see a cvs update that a slacker can build on
Slackware 8.0 or 8.1 without screaming bloody murder ;)
	I wonder of an areafix could be written in perl? that is, like
sqafix. looks at incoming messages to areafix. checks passwords etc..
and adds/deletes entries in either the squish.cfg or the areas.bbs
file? I don't know perl well enough to even begin doing it although I
could flowchart it and write the psudeo code.
