Heres some info for you. ....

****************
* Area Manager *
****************
Free Ware by Alessandro Antonini.
Will allow you to activate and deactivate scenery areas you do not normally
fly in. This will decrease your loading time, and should decrease some of your
memory overhead. If you have add on scenery that has not been modified to
exclude
all the many new airports and cities available in the Microsoft default scenery,
you can use this program to deactivate the Microsoft scenery for that area, and
activate your add on scenery, quickly and easily without having to launch MFS
and go into the "Scenery Library."

Windows 95 / Windows NT 32-bit WORLD.VIS File Editor / Scenery Area Manager.
- Full support for FS98, FS95 and FS5.1
- Enables / disables scenery areas to avoid scenery conflicts or K32 errors
and have Flight-Sim load faster.
- Lowers and Raise areas priority.
- Enables / Disables CD Boosters.
- Create New / Save As / Edit as many VIS files as you like. You may have one
WORLD.VIS file for each kind of flight or adventure.
- Can open a WORLD.VIS either from the GUI or from command line (therefore
can have VIS association, or Windows drag and drop may be used ).
- Install new scenery areas quickly and painlessly. Deletes unused area or
boosters entries as quickly.
- Optionally archives unused scenery files and textures into a ZIP file, to
save on disk space.
- And last but not least, totally freeware! No stupid cripple$ or NaGPS!
