    KR> QWK is a point to point protocol between a BBS and an offline user. It

    KR> into the QWK file. Due to the limitations i don't think that the QWK   
    KR> format is suitable for message base requirements. But maybe the QWK thing   
    KR> you are talking about is totally different.   
      
      
   When I first started with my BBS (PCBoard at the time), QWK networking was the   
   only way.  It worked very well, and I even did Fido that way, until we found a   
   way to use other methods. and then eventually it was built into the BBS program
