- Purpose -
This program is converts your RemoteAccess configuration files to a
QuickBBS format CONFIG.BBS file. It needs three (3) files present to
make the conversion: CONFIG.RA, MESSAGES.RA, EVENTS.RA.
Because of a few differences in the RemoteAccess and QuickBBS config-
uration file formats, not all things can be converted properly.
These differences are listed below.

variable is set to 0 by RA2Q.

will be set to 'Yes' in QuickBBS, otherwise it is set to 'No'.

will be set to 'Yes' in QuickBBS, otherwise, it is set to 'No'.
