All,

I've succesfully built hpt and htick, and now I want to add msged to the list. It builds, and according to some documentation it should install a workable default msged.cfg to the Husky etc directory that is setup to read most of the settings from fidoconfig. But in my case, there is no msged.cfg added to my etc folder. Anyone care to share one? I can see a sample.cfg in the sources but it looks like that's for the standalone msged instead on the husky-msged..

fconf2msged seems to work fine here.

===
fconf2msged/lnx 1.9 2023-02-24

Usage:
fconf2msged [-a][-sn][-se][-sl][-sb][-sd] <msgedConfigFileName>
(-a exports areas only)
(-sn skip netmail areas)
(-se skip echomail areas)
(-sl skip local areas, and so on...)
(-h print this message and exit)

Example:
fconf2msged ~/.msged

Thanks for the hint, that seems to do exactly what I needed!
I was hoping there was a keyword in the msged config to make it read the fidoconfig (for the areas for example), but apparently it needs its own config (which is understandable considering it's basically a stand alone editor).

Nice. ;)

Considering that MsgED is part of husky suite, it is a bit amazing if
it does not read husky config directly..

I don't use MsgED, I prefer GoldED. :)

Mostly keyboard-related things. Function keys didn't work (switching to Xterm in putty fixes that mostly). Shift+Arrow keys to select text doesn't work (work-around is using Alt-A). So with a few work-arounds, for now it's workable!
