    There is a Point software that work with Bluewave - the
    INDIGO 0.01 from Peter Karlson. I use then with IREX
    mailer on FIDONET and work very fine with real Bluewave
    features.

    So, you have 3 programs? A tosser, then Indigo converts from pkt to bw
    and vice versa? Then Bluewave acts as the reader/editor?

    Maybe it was developed for systems that did not have BW/QWK
    capability at first, and this was a way to allow feeding PKTs
    to regular users who could then settle with a favorite BW
    offline reader?

    I mean, it's no different zi suppose than something like other point setups I've seen mentioned, just Bluewave for your reader. I'm not sure why I'm surprised at 3 programs.

    Yeah not unlike my setup, hpt,binkd and golded it really only matters how well they work together and of course if its a pain in the ass to setup....

    Yep! :-)
    IREX (mailer) <-> INDIGO (pkt/bw converter) <-> BlueWave
    (reader/writer). Or with another mailer than IREX.

    That's the million Dollar Question. How complicated is the setup.

    That's something that sounds interesting. It runs In DOS mode, or in Windows? The wife won't let me change my DT to Linux.

    IREX (win version) and INDIGO (DOS) runs on DOS prompt of Win7x64
    (my PC) with NTVDMx64. BlueWave run on vDosPlus emulator (runs
    better). On my notebooks with Win7x86 all runs on DOS prompt. Not
    need emulators.

    How about a VM solution?
