 "@changed" will be inserted at the top of the message.

*B 3002,Delete Message

 Are you quite sure you want to delete this/these message(s)?
*E

*E

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*B 3006,Find String

                       │ Odin;Golded              │
                       └──────────────────────────┘

 By default, GoldED searches forward (next messages), but by preceeding the
 search string with a '-', the search goes backwards (previous messages). For
 consistency, '+' means forward search, even though forward search is
 default. The leading '+'/'-' character is stripped from the search string,
 if present.

 See also ^Marking String^.
*E

*B 9002,Hudson Size Warning

 GoldED has detected that your Hudson message base is rapidly approaching a
 very dangerous size. If you do not run a packing utility very soon, you risk
 permanent damage to your message base.

 The absolute maximum size for your message base is a 16 MB big MSGTXT.BBS
 file (65536 records of 256 bytes). This is approximately 16000 messages of
 average size.

 This warning message is triggered when MSGTXT.BBS reaches 62000 or more
 records, and will continue to be displayed at startup until the message base
 is packed.

 Press <Esc> to continue.

*B 9008,Hudson/Goldbase Index Errors

 Your message base index files are out of synchronization. The number of
 records in MSGHDR.* does not match the number of records in either MSGIDX.*
 or MSGTOIDX.* (or both).

 GoldED cannot continue until the index files are rebuilt. Please run a
 message base index rebuild utility immediately.

 Press <Esc> to exit.

*B 9009,Memory Warning

 You are dangerously low on memory.

 If you proceed now, you may get kicked out later with an "Out of memory"
 error. Watch the memory meter on the status line - if it gets under 20-30k,
 you may experience strange lockups.

 To correct this situation, run GoldED with more free memory or use the -O
 commandline option or GEDCMD environment variable to decrease the overlay
 size.
