    Let me add a twist to this question. Since the web menus and such are created dynamically, is there a way to have the file areas list alphabetically and such? I have 150+ Shareware CDs online, and
    currently, as it is now, whatever I installed last, is on the bottom. I would sure love to have it list alphabetically so all the "nightowls"
    were with nightowls, and such.

    Would this be a feat of wcBasic? Or reformatting the HTML before its displayed?

    It would have to be a wcBASIC trick, in the module that handles the
    listings.

    One other alternative would be a javascript trick -- check out http://webreference.com/js/column15/ for a cool script that lets you
    provide a scroll-down box listing things (like file areas) that are not
    only sorted by the browser automatically, but are also selectable by
    typing a portion of the name (so you could jump directly to the specific
    file area in the list that matches what you type, as you type it). Try
    out the demo on that page to see how it works. This could be implemented entirely through template files.

    Humor Yourself? hmmmmmmmm..

    Anyway, the wcsmw.h protocol library is all you need. Its all there.
    Every utility in WINSERVER is written with the WCSDK, including WCCONFIG.
    All this is documented in the WCSDK manual.

    The idea of a "Area Mover" is a very complex design and will require quite
    an extensive engineering knowledge of the operations WINSERVER. You just
    don't Move areas, but you have to "re-adjust", "re-organizes" securities
    and all other references that deal with conference numbers.

    I need File utilitys - move groups, areas,
    renumber tree ect. much more will wait till
    later to explain.

    Rick, just to humor myself, I went out and looked at the SDK to see if this type of application could be built based on that medium, and I did not see a way to create File Areas so therefore, either Santronics can give the 3rd party developers a way to incorporate this in the SDK or Hector can adjustment wcREPORTS. I know there are going to be a lot of changes in WINS2000; however, I understand your concern as well.

    Being a SysOp who LOVES change, I would love to be able to move and renumber and manipulate my conference/file areas at will; however, I
    have no support for that at the moment because it's no offered. Lets
    hope that Hector and Shane will provide a solution soon!

    This I am very aware of and I appreciate the reenforcement. I haven't
    had a chance to get started on it because I have been way busy dealing
    with my Oracle CRM/ERP and Web site setups. Hopefully I will get around
    to it shortly.
