    Synchronet v3.20 does not use/update the msgs.cnf file. You'll likely still have the file around after upgrading from an earlier version, so maybe GoldEd will just use that file.

    I know nothing about programming, compiling or code, BUT on the GitHub repository for Golded-plus, it looks like there's been an update to support the msgs.ini upgrade to Synchronet. I would you go about to compile this and create an Golded.exe to work with Syncronet? I've installed Visual Studio and tried to build it, but really have no idea what I'm doing.

    Thanks,

    First, I would look for any documentation or public discussions about how Windows builds of Golded-plus are expected to be compiled and linked. Lacking that, I'd load their Solutino (.sln) file into Visual Studio/C++ and use the "Build Solution" menu option. If it reported success, I'd look for the created .exe and/or .dll files that resulted.
