   From my ancient "Bluewave Products List", dated June 2000 [1], I have these   
   entries, two going the other direction:   
      
   BlueQWK 1.70           BLUEQ170.ZIP     DOS            Geoffrey Sy   
      Converts BW packets to QWK packets.   
      
   BW2QWK 2.2             BW2QWK22.ZIP     DOS            Ronald E. Raikes   
      Converts BW packets to QWK packets.   
      
   QWacK 0.96             QWACK096.*       DOS            George Hatchew   
      Converts QWK packets to Blue Wave packets, and Blue Waver reply   
      packets to QWK reply packets.   
      
   I do not have a copy of any of these, nor any further details on its   
   availability. Good hunting!   
      
      
   On a related note, I once wrote a converter that converted incoming point   
   message packets into Bluewave packets, and vice-versa. The source code for   
   that is still available at . It might be possible to hack that making QWK the input/output   
   format.
