I have done that in the past, just for a look. Golded does not support <CTRL>A codes so they can look a little strange. I also just prefer the BBS message reader to golded so that is why I don't use it.

You'll need something like this in your golded.cfg..

AREAFILE   Synchronet   /sbbs/ctrl/msgs.cnf

Depending on your setup that might be enough, if it is then you are good to go. If golded is confused about your areas you may need to export the area config from golded to a file, fix it up and then comment out the areafile keyword above and include your fixed up areas.

A bit of stuff there, sorry I don't know a better way.

Also, Synchronet will always add a tear and origin line, so tell golded not to include them.

;CTRLINFOECHO  TEARLINE, ORIGIN
CTRLINFOECHO

 Ttyl :-),

.... Is fire supposed to shoot out of it like that!?
