Hello Wilfred,   
      
   WvV> Btw: I'm still looking for good documentation for the hudson message   
   WvV> base format, if anyone's got it?   
      
   Me too, as I am running FD 2.02 NC and RA 1.11 for very many years at UniCorn   
   BBS in Arnhem.nl with a Hudson msg-base.   
   I only know very well that it must never exceed the 16 MB length,   
   otherwise its msgbase and index are both corrupted.   
   So I invested many hours to automatically reduce its volume below that 16 MB   
   length mark by using a good daily management.   
   Now my Point system is my archive for older messages.   
   If you found some information about the Hudson msg-base structure,   
   please tell me too.   
      
   Henri.
