Yes, I do use 'ftools addnew -A'.

I run Fmail/Ftools only in linux. FConfig only in windows :D.

All paths in FConfig are in windows format:

┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────
│ Area name    FMAIL_HELP
│ Comment      FMAIL_HELP
│ JAM MB name  \bbs\fmail\msgbase\jam\fmail_help

If I try to enter "/", FConfig will change it to "\".

Of course I also made the conversion  "\" -> "/" in my converter. Also
in linux Golded.cfg I have "mappath \ /".

But it was strange that at the same time areas.bbs and areas.gld have
different separator. :)
