   no, they don't exist any more, AFAIK...

   sempoint does BW packets??

    AI> In his reply packet there are CRs where you would expect them (but no LF,   
    AI> or newline) to be and in my upload packet there are CR/LF pairs.   
      
    AI> So my question is.. what is the correct way to format a Blue Wave reply   
    AI> packet?   
      
    AI> Is it OK to just use CR or should there be a CR/LF pair?   
      
   based on your description and the fact that BW originates from the DOS world,   
   i'd say that CRLF EOL pairs are required... what you are seeing could be the   
   result of whatever editor the user is using with their sempoint    
   nstallation... if they can, they should force their editor to use CRLF pairs   
   when editing sempoint messages   
      
   aside from that, here's a link to the BW structures but they don't say   
   anything about the line endings used...

   Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDS/IPS yer doin' it   
   wrong...
