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)

;Function 0 ^m ; Autostart macro

Function 1 \0x23
; F1 = Help menu
; 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
