   Offline Readers is a another chapter and i do not know much about that.

   As far as i remember offline readers like QWK are an interface to a BBS and   
   act like online BBS users. And like online BBS users they are operating with   
   the main aka of the BBS.

   I can't remember how QWK uses the usernumber index. Maybe that was part of the   
   BBS responsibilties.

   If you're going to use point numbers then you do not have an offline reader -   
   it's a point software. "Offline reader" could be used even for fully featured   
   node systems too, just because fidonet is an offline network. It's basics are   
   store and forward if connected and disconnect after packages sent.
