I suspect there were good reasons for SBBS to use its own, either breaking DOS
barriers or because you said to hell with the convoluted mess that is both.

Jam and Squish make you jump through more hoops than a starving dolphin at 
Marineland just to do one thing... write a new message.

What a freaking mess. Oh its Jam alright. Sticks all over your project as a
royal pain. What a stupid format. What clueless moron thought it was a great
idea to store the kludge lines seperately. In what universe was it necessary
to do this. For what purpose... indexing kludges? The Fidonet police?

Squish and its stupid frames. Frames this. Frames that. Index the frames. 
Index the index. Don't forget the stupid squish logo/header. Index that too.

Bah.
