There is none. The Fidonet Technology Standard is old.
Fidonet Technology Networks are build on old standards.

Modern moved forward to UTF and Unicode and left Fidonet behind.

Have a look at my sig.

Just so you have the correct terminology:

Your /sig/ is "David"
Your /tearline/ is "--- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20180707"
Your /Origin/ is " * Origin: " and what follows it.

I did delete everything form my golded.cfg and recreated it with -
INSTALL, Origin shows and so does tearline, but origin is take from
goldareas.txt from mystic.

That's great news! The bottom of your messages look much better now.
Thank you.

Sure, looks better but still missing a tagline and some more info I would like to put, but that'll do for now.

Noty sure how to have golded read the messagebase directly which I
know it's JAM but JAMPATH pointing to D:\BBS\MYSTIC\msgs does not
load any message base. So my solution here is to copy/paste all
AREADEFs to golded.cfg, dumb but is wat works for me ATM.

The JAMPATH keyword is only for the location of echomail.jam and netmail.jam files, which you probably aren't using at this point. It
has nothing to do with where your message bases are.

If you'd like full access to your message bases, without having to do multiple AREADEF lines, you probably need to create an AREAS.BBS from Mystic, and then use AREAFILE to point to that..

1) Create areas.bbs from Mystic, and remember where you created it.
2) Comment out all of your AREADEF lines in /this/ golded.cfg.
3) When all AREADEF lines are commented out: In the same golded.cfg:

AREAFILE AREASBBS /path/to/areas.bbs

Full path and file name, that might be where I'mm failing, mystic's areas.bbs looks like this when I exported it:

<snip>
!d:\bbs\mystic\msgs\localbbs localbbs
!d:\bbs\mystic\msgs\dupes LOC_DUPES

LANG=es_ES.ISO8859-1 luit -encoding ISO8859-1 gedlnx

I believe that this line has no use as source and target
encoding is the same for my installation (I use Fidian for
GoldEd through ttyd and tmux), I have a export
TERM=screen.xterm-256color

In my case (using specific czech codepage):

1) How to start golded:

set TZ=CET-1CES,M3.5.0/2,M10.5.0/3
LANG=cs_CZ.ISO8859-2 luit -encoding 'ISO-8859-2' ./gedlnx -f

2) In .bash_profile:

export TERM=vt220

3) In putty:

UTF8

Thanks for your help and suggestion, I definitely could not get luit installed/working, I put you commands on a bash script but again luit is teb issue.

Gracias

This did work, basic setup plus these and my unction keys to force mail processing are working (on windows+mystic+golded)

Strange thing if you notice now my origin doesn't contain bbs.skynetbbs.com, I'm not really sure if mystic's areaas.bbs takes care of that or if I should add an Origin line manually w/out screwing what already works.

This happened after I removed all AREADEF lines from *this* golded.cfg and included the areas.bbs, strange.

Looking into it tho.

Hola All!, saludo cordial

This is a test message from my test node on linux running SBBS+Golded

started GoldEd linke this and itM-BM-4s displaying correctly
as Dennis Slaggers suggested,

TERM=screen.xterm-256color /usr/local/bin/golded -T600

* Findings accented characters "in spanish" M-BM-( do not show properly E.g. mM-CM-! <<<< as you can see here
* Backspace is broken

Not sure if weird characters show up on your side, but when I tried deleting them terminal kinda screwed up, so sorry about that.

Getting there, or so I think

Baby steps. Now that you have a working config, you can look at advanced options and add one at a time making sure they work properly.

!d:\bbs\mystic\msgs\rberrypi RBERRYPI 4:902/26 4:930/1.10 4:930/10

Yeah, that's not quite right.

Thanks will try and let yall know.

I just took a look at my Mystic setup. There is an option in mutil.ini that will export areas for Golded. See the [Export_Golded] stanza and see what you can do with that.

Nick
