Almost every ftn software I knew support jam. Not all. But it quite widespreaded.

Why do you think so? It's perfectly documented. Way better than many other.

 MK>  Few user applications that directly use the format?

What's the point of direct use? :) To spend someone's time? We all have
more interesting things to do than to rewrite existing and working code.

To allow people access via nntp? To use nntp software for some reason? I
know people who prefer their favorite newsreaders to golded. It's a matter
of taste.
