    KR>> Yes. There may be restrictions if you want to use hudson base but   
    KR>> there is no reason to use that stoneaged format.   
       
    MJ> I think it is cool to use stoneaged formats.   
      
    KR> That's what Fidonet is. But there is no need to struggle with problems   
    KR> that the stoneage already solved. Even those solutions are still   
    KR> stoneaged. ;)    
      
   If I ran QuickBBS, then I would use Hudson. What is the point of running QBBS   
   if not to use Hudson ?   
       
    MJ> I want to check that packets contain the right messages and have been   
    MJ> routed to the correct outbound directories.   
      
    KR> That was done already when you use stoneaged software. If there are   
    KR> routing troubles then the software is old enough that this troubles   
    KR> would be known.    
      
   You are assuming the software has no bugs.   
      
   What if I want to check my packed messages match what the mailer's outbound   
   queue says ?   
      
    MJ> How do I check this without inspecting the packet ?   
      
    KR> You could see it in the outbound directories itself or in the logfiles   
    KR> if your software tries to connect to another system.    
      
   Except outbound directories contain files like "EFAABCFF.mo0". I want a nice   
   user interface to scroll through and open such packets and check the message   
   contents.   
      
    MJ> It is not uncommon. If I have a hammer, then I know I need a nail.   
    MJ> What is the point of having a hammer if not to hammer something.   
      
    KR> That's exactly what i was talking about, i don't need a hammer if   
    KR> there is nothing to hammer. It's common to have no hammer if there is   
    KR> no need to hammer anything.    
      
   It is also common to have a hammer.   
      
    KR>> Well, it was a long way from Blue Wave to node. What kind of   
    KR>> other software do you plan to use? I went from offline qwk   
    KR>> readers to point software and then to node software in point mode   
    KR>> before i changed the aka to node.   
       
    MJ> I was thinking about running Fidonet on a Nintendo.   
      
    KR> Which one?   
      
    KR> And how many hours would you need for such a project?   
      
   My point was I can skip all the other software and just go directly from QWK   
   to a node.
