Sure, if you want to - does ezycom use squish though? For some reason I
thought it used it's own format for message areas?

Though, I suppose it wouldn't matter what the format is as long as when
you repack the base the numbers stay the same.

Do message bases often fill up to over 64k messages? I see fsx_gen on
agency is over 98k now, but for some reason I think there are a lot of
dupes in it (I seem to remember Paul saying something about that?)

Probably the best solution would be to just archive the base when it gets
that big, (or delete it). You could just rename the .sq? files and set
them up as a read only base then you could still read the old messages,
but new ones would go into a fresh base.

I'm honestly not really worried about it - by the time you reach 64k
messages in a base we will be on to new BBS iteration 3 or 4 I'm sure...
