Jim Kershner, sysop of The Land, has written software that can reformat
Fidonet messages into a standard Internet format that can be merged into
the STadel BBS database.

It can be seen running at his BBS at 513-254-6811 (3/12/2400) in Dayton,
Ohio, USA.

Here is some information digested from messages he entered in the Citadel
network Atari ST room:

Subject: Re: FIDO<-->STadel

FIDOGate-ST V1.0 will be available for d/l'ing from The_Land tonight. NOTE: 
This is a one-way deal for now since STadel doesn't support TO: fields.......

           Actually, I have all of the files that I need for BINKLEY. I've 
already written my own UNPACKER for the *.PKT files yesterday...  I don't 
carry the Atari_ST echo here. My feed doesn't get it.  The_Land's FIDO Address 
is 1:110/200.......

Alcyone, 
         FIDOGate simply takes FIDO *.MSG files and converts them to *.X and 
*.D files which UUCALL can then place in the STadel MessageBase. To pick up 
the messages from a FIDO system you use something along the lines of FrontDoor 
or Binkley. Both of which are available for D/L'ing fron The_Land. FrontDoor 
is IMHO the best of the two and is what I use everyday....
