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.
