i fully understand but... most likely, that's not going to happen... at
least not as easily as moving to another package that is supported and will
possibly import or use your existing bases... sad but true :?

what software are you using? what message base formats does it support and
what is your current message base format? there may be an answer but (yeah,
another one) it is not moving to those php oriented "bbs"
packages that are out there... they are like an african elephant to a
mastadon... sure, they appear to be the same and may have some ancient
ancestry but they are completely different animals...

FWIW: yes, i run one of each and i much prefer the old style bbs stuff that
we've grown up with and been using/running these last 20+ years ;)
