Hello All!

I remember synchro from my old fidonet days when I moved to Windows back in 1999 and found it very cool but a hugmoungus mnster filled with options -- do not get me wrong, I would live to move away from Mystic (or use them both).

I've compiled and let's say configured Synchronet on a linux VM, I've tried reading through the wiki with no much luck on getting all of the pieces together.

Ready:
- BBS (stock), I can login and you know browse around
- echocfg, I setup a test node 4:930/10 and some echomail local areas and connection to my main node.

Not ready: (looging for documenatrtion)
- BinkP setup toss, scan, areafix, filefix
- Translate menus and prompts int spanish, I saw the option to change Language but the funny thing is that the only thing changed into spanish is the Language prompt to Idioma, so all the resty keeps beng in english.

See https://wiki.synchro.net/howto:fidonet for the script that automates much of that.

See ctrl/text.es.ini for the strings that have been translated so far (not many). Feel free to correct or add more!

Start with a look at "Binkit" (mailer) and "SBBSEcho" (tosser) on the
Wiki.

spanish is the Language prompt to Idioma, so all the resty keeps beng
in english.

You'll have to create/modify your own menu display files for that.
Start with the "Customization" section on the Wiki.
