From my ancient "Bluewave Products List", dated June 2000 [1], I
have these entries, two going the other direction:

BlueQWK 1.70           BLUEQ170.ZIP     DOS            Geoffrey Sy
   Converts BW packets to QWK packets.

BW2QWK 2.2             BW2QWK22.ZIP     DOS            Ronald E. Raikes
   Converts BW packets to QWK packets.

QWacK 0.96             QWACK096.*       DOS            George Hatchew
   Converts QWK packets to Blue Wave packets, and Blue Waver reply
   packets to QWK reply packets.

I do not have a copy of any of these, nor any further details on its
availability. Good hunting!


On a related note, I once wrote a converter that converted incoming point
message packets into Bluewave packets, and vice-versa. The source code for
that is still available at
http://www.softwolves.pp.se/sw/software/indigo>. It might be
possible to hack that making QWK the input/output format.
