:clap: :clap: :clap: that's great! i think there's only one other tosser that
supports goldbase, these days... i can't even recall which BBS software it was
that used it... one of the quickBBS clones, IIRC...

goldbase is simply an expanded HMB using larger variable types... longint
instead of word and word instead of byte being two of those changes... i don't
recall if they expanded the number of areas over 200, though... then someone
did something where you could have multiple bases stored in different
directories which multiplied the number of areas possible but you still had the
 same msg*.bbs and lastread.bbs files to step through in each directory...
