And if Maximus cannot produce a QWKE packet, then I cannot use
it. I am fully committed to my Maximus/Squish system.

i understand that... my thinking was that the specs are available as is
the source code to maximus... my quick look over the QWKE specs seemed
to indicate that it is as easy an addition to make as they say it is... adding it to maximus could be very straight forward...

Doesn't the MultiMail OLR support squish and QWKE?

But has anyone done that? If so, I'd like to know.

i don't know... it is why i kinda pointed it out to you... my thinking was with your past experience with QWK and repairing the y2k flaw you might be able to add it yourself... but i don't know your programming capabilities... i know mine are waning and i keep having to dig into newer languages for so many things today...

I am using the same desktop I have had for years and read my QWK packets using BlueWave in a virtual XP window. Don't intend to change.

Have you heard of this:


DURQWK14.ZIP 1172K 09-09-1998

DURANGOMAIL ver1.4 Build 204 - Updated 9/9/98 ---------------------------------------------
QWKE Offline mail reader for Win 95/98/NT/2K
* Multiple-Document Interface for reading
several packets at once
* Automatic quote highlighting
* Two levels of configurable message sorting
* Filing cabinet for quick storage/retrieval
of messages
* Fast and flexible message searching
* Advanced message filtering options
* Personal message alerts using a wave file
* Offline-configuration for adding and
dropping message areas
* Area and message capacity is limited only
by available system memory
* Spell-checker & thesaurus
* Simple setup and uninstal ...And More!


Even if you don't have QWKE, this might still support QWK. But the main benefit would be to be able to manage multiple QWKs at once.

I found a copy from archives.thebbs.org, but I had a little trouble
getting the setup.exe to cooperate. "not a wn32 program" error. Bad archive? Maybe the archive is listed somewhere else to try?
