Filenames used by the *.QWK format
BBSID.QWK is an archive containing the files from the
message door being sent to the caller.
MESSAGES.DAT - a file containing the messages themselves
in 128 byte records.
CONTROL.DAT - a file with info on the system, caller, and
conference names and numbers.
999.NDX - one file for each selected conference that
contains pointers to the messages in MESSAGES.DAT
There are usually several *.NDX files in each
QWK file. (Right justified, padded with leading
zeros to make the 3 characters).
NEWFILES.DAT - an optional file that contains a list
of new files from the Bbs.
BLT-0.99 - optional files containing ascii or ansi
bulletins. The 99 extension is replaced by the
bulletin number (Left justified not padded).
DOOR.ID - an optional text file that contains info
on the capabilities of the door that produced the
QWK packet (so that the reader will only send
control messages that can be handled).
SESSION.TXT - an optional ascii/ansi file containing
info on the activity occuring in the mail door.
Optionally it may also contain ascii or ansi screens for
Welcome, News, and Goodbye as named in the CONTROL.DAT
file.
BBSID.REP is an archive containing a single file of the
messages sent from the caller to the Bbs.
BBSID.MSG - a file containing the messages themselves
in 128 byte records. The format is similar to
