Hello everybody!

I've been over the past week been beating areafix into submission on the hub....

The result is now areafixable both fidonet area's and usenet newsgroups.

To get the list of newsgroups, grab it from here: http://m68k.vk3heg.net/newsgroup.txt
It's just a bit big to include in a echomail...


The following is the full list of fidonet area's. Some are already on the hub, other's are not.
It looks like a lot of them have no descriptions, so it's a guessing game.

Hello everybody!

I've been over the past week beating areafix into submission on the hub....

The result is now areafixable both fidonet area's and usenet newsgroups.

To get the list of newsgroups, grab it from here: http://m68k.vk3heg.net/newsgroup.txt
It's just a bit big to include in a echomail... (I don't really want to post it in 22 chunks @ 32K each)

The following is the full list of fidonet area's. Some are already on the hub, other's are not.
It looks like a lot of them have no descriptions, so it's a guessing game.
