   Most apps are written in java. It is possible to do so in other programing   
   languages, it's just a bit more complicated, from what I am learning.

   I've tried it. When it works, I like it. But it's been hit and miss with me,   
   even connecting to the same BBS.   
      
   And I haven't figured out how to start the YModem-G it's supposed to have to   
   download a QWK packet.

   That's true. Although, if you start with the code of an open-source reader, I   
   would think that it would be at least somewhat easier.
