   Yes. There may be restrictions if you want to use hudson base but there is no   
   reason to use that stoneaged format. Hudson have a size limit and it stores   
   all messages in one database. If that is corrupt then you will loose all   
   mails. Todays formats use one database per area and in case of trouble only   
   one area is affected.

   Packets do not need to be inspected/debugged. The bugs are in the software   
   that creates the packet so which software do you want to debug?

   Hm, isn't that the rear of the horse? Usually you have an area inside a   
   message base and need a statistic tool then. The reverse way i have statistic   
   tool and need a message area now is very uncommon.

   Well, it was a long way from Blue Wave to node. What kind of other software do   
   you plan to use? I went from offline qwk readers to point software and then to   
   node software in point mode before i changed the aka to node.
