I lost favour in QWK for a variety of reasons.
I am favourable to offline mail. The difference between a point and
offline is that the point has the whole history where with offline you
are limited to what is in your packet. I guess that works for some.
The traditional QWK/REP method started to become laborious and pressure mounted when I was anxious to get the next packet *before* I was finished reading and replying in the previous one.
But then... I discovered SemPoint (Windows). It could consolidate all
the QWK packet messages into an accumulating database.
And.. it supported Jam, Squish, PKT, and a few other formats,
concurrently. It needed an external tosser/scanner though.
And now, all-inclusive point software such OpenXP are quite fine alternatives.
I wish I could get SemPoint working again. I seem to remember having absolutley no trouble setting it up the first time many years ago. But
now, it's complaining "unable to save message in Area" :(
