Hello, Kai!

 RS>> Give me pls more info how i can read/write in husky hpt squid
 RS>> base in C/C++ or Perl ?

Husky project has a C library called [SMAPI](https://github.com/huskyproject/smapi) for Fidonet message base manipulation and it includes support for OPUS/MSG, Jam and Squish database formats. Unfortunately, there is no good documentation for the API, but the Pascal wrapper has the most documentation https://github.com/huskyproject/smapi/blob/master/src/smapi.pas

There are a couple of (abandoned) Perl libraries you can check, https://metacpan.org/dist/FTN-Database and for pkt manipulation https://metacpan.org/dist/FTN-Pkt https://metacpan.org/pod/FTN::Packet but nothing ready-to-use to read Squish database format.

 KR> That's simple, hpt does not have squid support nor http protocols.

I am pretty sure he meant Squish and not Squid.
