Use GIGO. You don't need most of it for this, you just use the gateway
part. That'll translate both ways between fido PKT files and BAG,
NNTP, or Waffle uucp type files. 

You'd need GATEWAY.EXE and a config file. And the Compress program from
GIGO if you have to compress/decompress bundles. That's pretty much it.
