Hello All.

I trying to figure out how to have GoldED seperate my network groups for display. Fidonet, FSXnet, Dove-net I've tried AREASEP, but that didn't work. Can someone share there AREASEP, or another example of how to set that up?

Thanks,
Rick V

You can't point directly to msgs.ini in this case. You would have to AREADEF every one of your Synchronet sub-boards manually..

areasep !FIDONET "Fidonet" <group> echo
areadef AFTERSHOCK "Aftershock Android Client Support" <group> echo SMB /path/to/sbbs/data/subs/aftershock <your node number>
... *all of them*

areasep !FSXNET "FSXNet" <group> echo
areadef FSX_GEN "General Chat + More" <group> echo SMB /path/to/sbbs/data/subs/fsx_gen <your node number>
... *all of them*

areasep !DOVENET "Dove-net" <group> local
areadef DOVE-GEN "General" <group> local SMB /path/to/sbbs/data/subs/dove-gen ... *all of them*

Some of those lines might wrap on your current display, but everything including "areadef" and after, and before "..." is on one line.

I get it. That's to much work. Thanks.

I didn't realize yhat was a thing. I guess that's what I get for not
reading the manual, isn't it? XD

Thanks for that info.

Of course! Took me a bit to figure out at first, but it turned out easy on my eyes in the end:

Ok. It's really not that much work, though. You can export all of your areas from Synchronet to a FIDONET.NA format file, then just add in the golded options you need.

Either way, that seems to be the only way to accomplish what you were asking. When pointing directly to msgs.ini (or probably any single file that reads an entire message base, for that matter), there are really no "groups" specified in Golded, so Golded doesn't know where to put the area separators.
