    FB> Hello Gonzalo.   
      
    FB> I have finally managed to download and install the BW for Mac!   
    FB> ;)    
    FB> A few questions:   
      
    FB> - As I could notice, it's a bundle of DOSBOX. How    
      
   There are a few problems with the Bluewave under DOSBOX.  One problem   
   shows up when it is packing up its files, and causes a serious flaw.   
   There is a fix for this problem.  Take a look at the discussion on   
   vogons.org   
      
   https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=18242&p=132706&hilit   
   bluewave#p132706   
      
   The other problem has to do with the way that Bluewave uses the   
   timestamps on the QWK files.  There is no fix I know of for this, but it   
   is not too serious.  Because of these problems, I run BlueWave in a   
   virtual WINXP window, but if you fix the first problem you should be   
   able to run it using DOSBOX.   
      
    FB> do I integrate it in such a way that it can read my   
    FB> directories (My BW packages are downloaded to    
    FB> /Users/flbessa/multimail/down for instance)   
      
   When you open up Bluewave, there is a menu at the top.  Use the arrow to   
   go over to the CONIG option.  There you will find options on where to   
   look for your mail packets / reply packets etc.  Since Bluewave is in   
   reality a DOS program, it is going to be looking for directories in the   
   DOS form, e.g. D:\users\flbessa\multimail\down etc.  I don't know enough   
   about MAC to say how you should set that up.  I suspect that there might   
   be some sort of "mount" command that would allow you to equate D: to a   
   particular Mac directory, e.g. Set D: = /users/flbessa/multimail and   
   then go from there.  If you can get that to work, then D:\down would be   
   where your mail goes.   
      
    FB> - How can I "register" the SW?   
      
   You cannot register it any more.  The original author left the scene   
   several decades ago.  You can run it as unregistered.  You might find a   
   registration key if you search the web hard enough.
