Trust me, it will read the QWK format....  However, you really don't
want to mess with it.   The QWK format is one of those standards,
which was never really meant to be a standard, but is. It is very poorly
designed, and has several strange little quirks.
BTW, I saw your co-authors letter to Windows Developers Journal...  For
what is worth, I have become very unhappy with their reviews of Delphi
oriented books.  I don't care for reviewers who consistently praise
every book, but it is no more useful if they consistently trash every
book.
