Change cmd-line to bash script and you have it. Also a few additional function files to facillitate the filteration issues. I'd probably do a QWK <-> MSG that way if QWK was a desirable format, which of course it isn't. > How do you mark a message for a reply later? Use the line number of the msg and use that in a reply vector and then once editted write it to a formatted reply file that can be uploaded to the mothership, "Little Mikey's Brain" in this case. If you see this reply then you have confirmation that it works. > Take a look at OpenXP and give it a spin! Sure. However if it cannot handle utf-8 msg posting then it won't get very far here.
