G'day Chris,



 CB> A utility to convert the IDX or similar files that are created

 CB> when downloading newsgroups to and from MSG or even bluewave

 CB> formats... I'd *like* to see that!



I don't know if there is such a utility to do this conversion, but

there is a Unix prg called UQWK that creates QWK packets of the

newsgroups & email...  I use this in conjuntion with Pauls QWK2PKT to

toss the internet mail stuff into my message base (or to read/reply

directly with my QWK reader).  For the most part it works well, but

QWK2PKT is the weak link in that it skips any messages greater than a

certain size...  makes it a bitch for file attaches :-(



 RG>> Contact Gaelyne Gasson for more info.

 CB> Done.

 RG>> 

 CB> Don't forget to ask her for your 10% commision ;-)



Err, 10% ?   I expect a helluver lot more than that from her. ;-)



Cheers,

Rod
