Hiya Y'All!

I need to gate an internet flavor mailing list to and from fidonet echo format.
Using Pegasus now for the inet side of things, and qmail on the fido side.

Looked at several packages, Watergate, GIGO, Waffle, couple others, these are
waaayy too much 'software'. I don't need a tosser, scanner, packer, linker,
popper [deep breath] grouper, server, editor, BBS, mailer, nunna that stuff.

As it stands now I could easily kludge some utils together to convert the plain
text inet msgs to packets, then toss them. What i don't happen to have on hand
is something to split the fido packets into compatible text msgs.

So, is there something avail that can do -just- the basic conversion, packet
 text, that's it. No 300k executables with 200 pages of docs and 200 lines
of configs, no bells, no whistles, no fluff.

:-)
