Hi Jeff,

 JH> about assembling BlueWave/QWK packets?

Sorry for the late reply, I'm catching up on a lot of mail at the moment.

As a few people have directed, you can find some information about fidonet
protocols at the FTSC website at http://www.ftsc.org.

I would recommend you check out the roadmap project - although it is
embryonic it is aimed at pointing new developers to the right documents for
their project.

I don't have information about BlueWave stuff on the site unforunately but
over the next few months I hope to bring a lot of third party development
information into the FTSC archive.

CT.
