QWK mail format information
By Mark May - Mythical Kingdom Software
While writing a QWK utility, I found that there was no
one place where all the necessary info on the QWK format
was available. Thru messages in several network echo
conferences (Thanks to Tim Farley, Mark Goodwin, Randy
Blackmond, Mark Herring, Patrick Lee, Greg Hewgill, and
others), I gradually collected the information enclosed
in this archive.
To save others the time collecting this information, I've
put together this set of files by editing the information
from the various sources so that it is conveniently
available.
Tim Farley is working on a more rigorous specification and
I'm sure all of us would appreciate any help you can give
him in this. If you find any errors or additional
information, I'd also appreciate hearing about it so that
I can further update this set of files.
I am working on an Object-Oriented set of TurboPascal routines
that I hope to release to make working with QWK/REP files
easier.
Note that this packet of information does not document net-status.
QWK packets that are marked as having net-status may be imported
by one of the NET utils (QNet, RNet, MKNet, etc) into a Bbs.
Because normal users of a QWK door should not be able to hack a
packet to give it net-status (and import it into their system),
that info has been left out of this set of documents. You may
contact me (or one of the other QWK authors) directly for this
info.
You may contact me at:
Fido - 1:110/290
RIME - ->MYTHKING
Normal Bbs 513-237-7737 (at 9600 HST/V32)
You may also contact me in the P/Net (programmers network)
Bbs/Utils developers conference.
