it probably doesn't... QWKE was brought to us by Pete Rocca in 1994...

QWKE is simply an extension to QWK... some things are stored in an additional 
file that QWKE capable systems/readers can use instead of the shorter 
restricted data in the original QWK specification... i found a copy of the 
v1.02 specs and uploaded it to my system so as to try to help ensure that it 
doesn't disappear...

  ftp://sestar.synchro.net/main/BBS/qwke-102.txt

i added the version number to it but the other copies i found were all just 
named "qwke.txt"... with your QWK experience, you might find the spec 
interesting...

i'm not sure, without digging, either... i don't think so, though, considering 
the dates...
