Subj : QWKE or BlueWave

Sorry to but in....  I "just" re-opened my BBS after it has been down for
about a year.  I invested some significant funds into ensuring that it is
"up-to-date".  I have been considering gating my mail to newsgroups, but -
there are several "security" obsticals for me to overcome first.  I want to
make "sure" that users don't spam like they do in newsgroups.  However, I
do have QWK via HTML.  It's a pretty neat setup.  After selecting the fido
conferences you want, you click "Download" QWK file on an HTML link, and it
will compress a QWK packet and attach it to an Email on the board, which
you can d/l from the inbox, OR POP.

If you or someone you know is looking for a simple place to get a QWK file,
this is definitely it...

Cheers,
Shannon Talley
