Database QWK Readers? 12
udhay asks: "Like many
other slashdot readers, I got my start online through BBSes. I also
have tons of old QWK packets from the old days. I occasionally get
the urge to re-read those, but it gets tedious to do it one by one.
I've been hunting for a database QWK reader that will consolidate all
the QWK packets into one message base, for easy retrieval. I haven't
been able to find any in lots of hunting on simtel and the like,
though. I was wondering if any of the Slashdot readers would know of such
an app? Windoze or Linux."

I don't know of anything quite like what you're talking about, but the QWK file format can be found at faqsys [neutralzone.org]. It shouldn't be to hard to write a Perl decoder. Or you might be able to snag source from another project (search freshmeat for QWK, there's a couple relevant projects).

I really liked reading my mail with a database, it ran great under OS/2 as well.
