Golded/2 is an offline fido message reader/editor, not part of a BBS. You
don't need a BBS to use Golded, I don't have a BBS and I use Golded. It
supports messagebase formats of a few BBS-programs but there is need to use
them if you don't have them.

textmode message reader / editors
(the notes are from myself):

TimEd 1.10; Fast msg editor supporting
Squish, JAM, *.MSG and Hudson bases;
With internal editor. OS/2 version.

Note: TimEd is a little crude, but
fast, it misses some features, is free
but not in development anymore. It uses
any text mode size you can set.
(don't know where you could download
TimEd, probably Hobbes)


GoldED 3.0.1 Official Release
By Odinn Sorensen, FidoNet 2:236/77.
Homepage: http://www.goldware.dk.
OS/2 version.

Note: Golded is now an open source program
(meaning it is free), it supports message
bases in the formats Hudson, Goldbase, JAM,
Squish, OPUS *.MSG, FTS-1 *.MSG, Ezycom,
PCBoard. Golded is very versatile and very
configurable, it doesn't have a configuration
program and all configuration is done with
text files so configuration requires lots of
reading and a lot of time. Golded uses any
text mode size you can set.


RB> What are others options?
RB> (is excelent a reader whit copy&paste support)

All of them support copy & paste in one way or another (text mode programs
automatically because that is built into the windowed session).
