Ok.

 Ol> I guess hpt has one.

Sure it does. I think you could use hptutil with some minimal fidoconfig without actually running hpt as a tosser.

=== Cut ===
Usage: hptutil [options]
Options:  sort          - sort unread messages by time and date
          link          - reply-link messages
          purge         - purge areas
          pack          - pack areas
          fix           - fix base (hptutil fix -? for more help)
          -j            - link Jam areas by CRC (great speed-up)
          -k            - keep import.log file
          -q            - quiet mode (no screen output)
          -i  - alternative import.log

 TK>> GoldED is a good start.

 Ol> does Golded repair a message base?

Not really, but it may show you errors, also it may recover some messages from broken base copying them to a new base.
