Hello All!

Is there anyone here using msged that is included with the husky package? If there is would you mind sharing your config file?  I had it working but now when I launch it just changes the screen to black and nothing is shown.

I've included the one I'm trying to get working. (windows if it matters)

; Here is how you can manually define message areas (in case that MsgEd ; does not support the configuration file of the tosser that you are using): ;
; <format>  <area-type[msgattrs]> <"Area description"> <path> <tag> [address] ;
;   <format>         Squish | Fido | Quick
;   <area-type>      m .. netmail
;                    e .. echomail
;                    u .. enable gateway features for this area ;                    8 .. write mails with CHRS kludge in this area ;   <msgattrs>       p .. private
;                    k .. kill/sent
;   <"description">  Description of area
;   <path>           Path to messagebase (or HMB board number) ;   [tag]            Echomail areatag; do not specify for non-echomail areas ;   [address]        FTN address to use for this area
;
; Some examples:

Fido mu8p "Netmail Folder"    d:\messages
; The following settings are common for all locations
CharsetAlias +7_FIDO CP866
CharsetAlias RUFIDO CP866
CharsetAlias FIDO7 CP866
CharsetAlias FIDO  CP866
AssumeCharset IBMPC
  ; If you are using Codepage 437 as primary codepage (some European users
  ; and most American ones do this because of yet more IBM graphics characters)
  ; use the following block instead of the one above
ReadMap READMAPS.437
WriteMap WRITMAPS.437
OutputCharset IBMPC
CharsetAlias IBMPC CP437
Template D:\HUSKY\MSGED.TPL
;HelpFile MSGHELP.DAT
;This is a binary file containing the online help
; Include  SCHEME.001
; Areas
Fido e8u "Netmail" D:\MESSAGES  1:229/452.0
Fido e8u "DUPEMAIL" D:\MESSAGES\DUPE DUPEMAIL 1:229/452.0
Squish e8u "BADMAIL" D:\MESSAGES\BADMAIL BADMAIL 1:229/452.0 Squish e8u "CBM" D:\MESSAGES\FIDO\CBM CBM 1:229/452.0

Rest of areas follow above.  I've also tried commenting this out and letting msged read the fidoconfig.

Thanks,

Shawn
