    well, but I got some issue trying to upload the new package. (I replied back a few minutes ago to Digital Man about it as when I chose ZMODEM
    the file gets uploaded but the logs say:

    Hmm OK, what terminal program are you using to upload?

    Syncterm and ZOC. Both doing well, the problem was me and uploading the wrong REP file which is now sorted.


    About Fido Point.. .I will look into that in another moment. Agreed I
    will go slowly into this..

    Yep, there's a bit to learn about FTN networking, then it will start to make more sense. :)

    I used to do all this things,but I have forgotten a lot. Also I was using Blue Wave/GolDED,RAR,FrontDoor, so everything completely different.

    Helps to have the right file. ;)

    If you use a QWK offline reader, there should be *nothing* additional
    you need to do on the BBS side. Using a QWK offline reader (or an NNTP reader) you should immediately be able to download/upload messages
    from/to *all* the sub-boards on the BBS.

    Works for me. :) Only minor wrinkle with QWK is it's not possible to compose a netmail or email from QWK, except as a reply, because unless there is a message in the email area, it doesn't appear in the area
    list when composing in QWK.

    Weird... I compose emails and netmails in Bluewave and works fine.
    To send and receive.

    Let's try again!!

    This one looks like a QWK upload from MultiMail Mac. Looks good.

    If you happen to download a Blue Wave packet the extentions will be different agian. Same rule applies. Don't mix up the BW and reply
    packet!


    Will be fun trying to get Bluewave working on a stock Synchronet BBS.
    Is there a door, by any chance? Maybe something that could be written
    in Javascript?

    I use Bluewave and love it. Works fine with QWKE but a BW packet
    support option would be great. :-)

    Hmm, might be a Multimail issue then, but I only see the email area when there's actually messages in it, in my QWK packet. I could try Bluewave, as I have it setup in DOSBox here. :)

    Does Bluewave (reader) actually support QWKE? Wasn't sure about that.

    Yes, but not with all features. Shows long names of areas but
    has limitation on the lenght of the subject. Try it.

    Yeah that's why I asked, and the subject length is a big issue these days, and one reason I do like Multimail.

    I agree. Option to choose bluewave format would be great. :-)
