I'm using BW in DOSbox        SD> in a full-screen session. It's amazing how well these old programs I        SD> use work under Windows 7.               SD> If anyone's interested about how to set BW up, it's pretty easy to do        SD> if you're willing to spend about 10 minutes to do it. On my 3ghz        SD> laptop, BW runs quite well even though it does consume 100% CPU usage        SD> (that is remedied in DOSbox's configuration if you are wanting to fix        SD> it).         SD> Just a little FYI.              Quite some time ago, I set up Bluewave using DOSBOX on a version of       Linux. I was using it to read QWK packets. There was a problem, which       I talked about on a DOSBOX forum. The link to the thread is:              http://vogons.zetafleet.com/viewtopic.php?t=18242&highlight=bluewave              I don't know if the problem would exist when reading native BW packets.              In the end the problem turned out to be an error in the way BlueWave was       written -- but which got patched by someone. I'd recommend reading that       forum thread.               Dale Shipp        fido_261_1466 (at) comcast (dot) net        (1:261/1466)                     ...
