I removed the subs.txt file format import/export from SCFG recently. Since messa
ge areas are now (as of SBBS v3.20) stored natively in text format (ctrl/msgs.in
i), the subs.txt file format was an unnecessary and ugly legacy.

You have a subs.txt file? Exported from where? I guess it could be converted or
imported with some JavaScript (exec/importcfg.js might serve as an example), but
if the source of the subs.txt was a Synchronet BBS v3.20 or later, then you cou
ld just copy the areas from the source BBS's msgs.ini file instead.

Shouldn't make a difference.
