yup! found out the hard way, I skimmed through the README.1ST from older versions and got it running again, I did find that I needed, Name, Address and AREADEF, I'm using Mystic so I found the export golded and export areas.bbs and I ran both, I have a config that looks like this but still have some issues:

USERNAME David Gonzalez
ADDRESS 21:3/188
AREADEF Netmail "NETMAIL" 0 Net OPUS d:\bbs\mystic\msgs
AREAFILE AreasBBS d:\bbs\mystic\areas.bbs

- Netmail doesn't show anything.
- I'd like to start on the message area list
- How do I import area descripction so they don't show up as FSX_MYS but description.
- I've replied to many messages from GoldED, now how do I get those out using Mystic's mutil?

 Ac> That should be one line with no spaces if it wrapped on your end.
