I haven't released an update in a long time.  I haven't tested Y2K
compliance, but am not aware of anything that would be a problem.  If
you do decide to try it, and run into any problems, please let me
know.

Thanks for the info,  I may have to check out Maximus and see how the
Linux port is progressing.  I wouldn't mind starting a telnetable BBS
myself.

	If you ask him nicely I am sure he would consider an update to
his program. Its a cute little package too.

As for qwk2rep its part of another package which while being freeware
I don't think the sourcecode is available.
	Mark May has released several documents on the qwk format as
well as source code apis for dealing with different message bases. You
can go to his web page at: http://lilacway.dyndns.org/mk/index.html
