   Actually, it does have a few problems there.  To start with, there is a   
   bug having to do with its update of the message flags.  That has been   
   fixed via a patch by someone on the dosbox forum, vogons.org.  I just   
   looked and could not find the messages talking about it -- they were   
   quite a while ago.  I could probably find the patch for anyone   
   interested and email it to you.  Or Mark Lewis may have it on his BBS   
   site?   
      
   The second problem is annoying, and cannot be fixed.  It has to do with   
   the date/time stamp on the QWK file.  In normal DOS, Bluewave leaves   
   that stamp alone -- and in fact uses an index based on the stamp to give   
   you info about the QWK packet in the future.  In DOSBOX, the date/time   
   stamp gets updated each time you open the file.  For that reason, I use   
   Bluewave in a virtual window running XP.
