You are asking for a lot of trouble going this route though.  There have been
numberous changes in VA that some of the old VBBS stuff only lead to problems
(like scripts for one).

One other nice side effect of using NEW directories that I discovered was a
sudden boost in free space on the Hard Drive.  I had loads of old files that
were not in use, but taking up space.  I cleaned up between 9-11 megs worth
of space (not all was VBBS specific, but in some way related to MY BBS at
some time in the past).
