-> That version is many years old so I cannot help them or fix any issues.
-> They
-> will need to upgrade. If you are able to find issue with a current version
-> please let me know and I will take a look right away.

As an interesting side note, I do have a MysticBBS setup and was able to
use that to send the areafix command and it all came back properly. So
I'm wondering if wildcat is sending a \r or \n or both that may be
throwing it all off?

I think that was exactly the bug, so that sounds likely. I can't remember the
exact details but I think if it was a CR+LF and not just a CR Mystic was
failing to properly parse Areafix. And it must have been in A46 since that is
what they are using.

Should be fixed in A47 and A48 though.

It would not be PX as I do not have that issue with my similar setup here.
