<H3>File Areas introduction.</H3>
<P>
This is the setup for the file areas in which users can up and download files.
This database has fixed area numbers, the database can't be packed. This is
done because areas can point to other areas and users are "used" to use
areas by number. Also the .tic areas reference the file areas by record
numbers. Extending the database is allways possible. One important note,
before you can set this up, you need to define the <A HREF="newgroups.html">
newfiles groups</A>.
