• Bluewave?

    From apam@21:1/125 to All on Thursday, February 15, 2018 17:20:52
    Does mystic do bluewave or just QWK? I know I saw one BBS that had both
    but I don't remember what it was it might have been MBSE or Mystic.

    I'm curious as I'm thinking of another project I may or may not attempt
    and wondering if it would be useful for mystic people as well.

    Not Bluewave to my knowledge, but yes to QWK and QWKE..

    There's certainly some love in the air for Bluewave but I think the author
    has abandoned it? Tiny will know for sure I recall him as our resident guru (and Al :)) .. and anyone else I forgot to mention!

    Best, Paul

    MBSE does both QWK and Blue Wave natively.

    Is it something to do with QWK or BW?

    MBSE and Ezycom are the only two I know of that do both formats
    internally. (Oh maybe bbbs as well)

    Been abandoned for 25+ years. The problem is it's still 100x better then
    QWK / QWKE ever will be. <G>

    Just QWK, unfortunately. A BlueWave door for Mystic would be VERY nice. :)

    I'm a fan of Bluewave. The good news is the Bluewave specs can be easily found online, as they were made public by the original author.
