Doing nodes however is going to be a manual task as SBBSEcho uses a text configuration and Mystic has it's own built-in system, unless James
writes a SBBS->Mystic conversion program

This might be something that can happen. Are you talking about importing echomail node setups from a SBBSecho file?

I know there have been one or two other requests for something like this,
which makes it more reason to do it. :)

Or maybe the AREAS.BBS importer can be updated to do it or something.

I am open to ideas and I would like to give bigger systems a conversion path
at least for their echomail.

The only thing about that is that all the information that will be transferred via AREAS.BBS (links-wise) would be what links are connected to what echomail areas.

That would be awesome, if something could actually be made to work in regards to this for newer softwares. I believe Fastecho's nodes can be exported, and FMail can read that on import.. probably because they were originally started around the same time.

I don't think SBBS or SBBSecho can export actual link information. However, SBBSecho does save link information to a text file (ie: sbbsecho.ini), as does HPT (fidoconfig).. albeit two completely different formats.. so it would probably be a pain in the ass to make anything work with more than one software. ;(

Regards,
Nick

I think import for areas.bbs would be the way to go.. my two cents
