Greetings, I bought your editor quite a while back, and I never really got around to getting anything like OLC on my mud, now that I have it... I cannot use the Area Editor, do you have an explination, so I can fix it? Or is it yet to be created? The thing with it is, when I try to open an area, or add an area to my area's file, it says it's invalid, because my OLC adds AREADATA to the areas, and the
Area Creator reads an error because of this. Help...

The editor is supposed to work with standard ROM and SMAUG areas. If you have changed the way the area file is written then it might not work, although small changes like changing the word AREA to AREADATA might be fixable by manually editing the area file with a text editor (make a copy first).

For ROM areas:

Change #AREADATA TO #AREA

Make the Name line the area file name followed by a ~

Make the builder's names the area name followed by a ~

Remove the Security and END lines and move the vnums
down there, without the word VNUMs

Remove the whole MOBPROGS section

---------
There may likely be other changes made by a particular MUD,
like extra flags and things, but this procedure just worked
for me on an area called "Calenth II", found randomly on
the web.
