I know that Rhys' packet format will include QWK as a subset - so even if
wafline doesn't make it this year, hopefully an at-least-as-functional
package should.

those who are writing generators - are you including mail-only QWK for
cases like this in the first batch?  Rhys - will the first reader you put
out handle it?  anyone else already writing readers for it?
