I am currently investigating offline message readers that offer support to mail messages as well as to Usenet messages. Is there a faq anywhere about OLRs? Most of the OLRs I've heard work with the .QWK packet format - is there a doc describing this format? On the last days people in this newsgroup have been talking about Bluewave v2.12 SpeedRead, ATP and MegaMail. Is there any Internet site from where I could FTP them? Downloading by phone lines from Brazil would be very costly :-). Sorry if some of these questions are faqs, but I'm a novice in BBSs and related subjects!

These are all shareware and require registration for continuing use after a short period. I also have the Mega-Mail Door which is Free-ware by Kip Compton who does the PC-Relay Software, now Post-Link Software. I have other specific Offline Mail Readers such as EZ-Reader, however, I think the version available on my system is rather outdated (Version 1.38) and somewhat buggy. What would you like for me to stick up on WUARCHIVE.WUSTL.EDU ? Phillip - The HAM Connection (409)833-1795

I have written an often referred to file on the QWK specification. The latest version is QWKLAY16.ZIP. I can uuencode it over to you if you want. It is also available on Lunatic Fringe BBS at (214) 422-2936 USR HST DS v.32bis. The BBS is known as 'QWK Central' because it has a lot of QWK related files on-line. -- Patrick <patlee@panix.com> Maintainer of QWKLAY* - File on QWK specification; QWKP* - Listing of all QWK format programs and many author contact information.
