IIRC the format of the data (at least on the eariler disks) was very straightforward. It shouldn't be hard to devise a module to access it. If you aren't a programmer, ask someone else. I can't offer to do it because I don't have the QRZ disk. Tell you what tho -- just for my curiosity, would you do an "ls -l" (or a "DIR /S" it would prolly be under DOS/WIN) and post the results? Unless they are waay long.... > AM>ARPD is over 10 years old, but you might try contacting the author: > FWIW, I don't think Dave is going to do much further > development with his stuff... Then ask him to make it public domain and release the source code. Maybe someone else will take it up. --- þ Synchronet þ CQ DX! The ANJO BBS calling on 56K dial-up... .
