The Husky project encompasses many different programs, many of which you
may not need, but which bits you need depend on what you want to do, eg. 
people often use the Msged mail reader independantly without the use of any
of the other Husky programs.

Personally I use hpt (for tossing/scanning PKTs to a Squish message base)
and nltools (for generating a nodelist from the weekly nodediff, and
compiling a fidouser.lst from the nodelist), both which require fidoconf
(which allows everything to be stored in a single config file so configs
don't get out of sync).  I also use Msged (and was one of the main Msged
developers between 1995-1998).  I don't know anything about Telegard to say
whether any of these programs are compatible with it though.

Links to Win32 binaries of current (or near-current) versions of the above)
that will run under Windows XP:

http://unc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/husky/nltools-1.3-20021107-win32.zip
http://unc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/husky/fidoconf-0.15-20021107-win32.zip

I don't know whether the above files include the documentation though.
