No in Fidonet messages is it the same as dos, only Carrige Return as line seperator.

Not nessersary. FTN is standalized.. Think of Amiga, many people did use
FTN from their Amiga, an afair is Amiga only using  for line
seperating.

The problem was writing of the Squish Messagebase header, it was packed
too, so I fixed it by using SQHDR_SIZE (28 bytes).
