    Je le parle un peu... mais pas bien... ;) I had French in high school,
    many many years ago... ;)
    Are you in Quebec, then...?

    Speak a bit!, it's very good Writing
    Yes i am in Quebec > Montreal

    I've forgotten most of my vocabulary from them, just a few words that
    seem to stick in my brain... ;)

    And, by the way, a belated welcome to the echo... :)

    Thanks
    It's because i Search or look for any QWK Readers to can be Up to
    date i use CMPQWK , because it full screen and work on windows , and
    nedd to be Update or fix some bug !
    As my reading , No one have Update QWK readers for a long time
    Since ....... Someone will possibly , done the work
    BBS have it Update .. but not the readers

    I've used BlueWave for decades... and with the Y2K patch, it works just
    fine for either QWK or BW packets, so I've seen no need to change. I
    never even upgraded to 2.30 since 2.20 works just fine for me. :) I
    guess to use it in Windows one needs to use DOSBOX? But since I'm still
    just in DOS, I've not worried about that either. :)

    -!- Mystic BBS v1.10 A58 (Windows)

    No BW doors for Mystic... at least as far as I know... :) But since the
    reader handles QWK, that's not a big problem....

    ... I'd rather ride the Wave than wallow in QWKsand!

    So have I. I used SLMR for about a week before one of the local sysops
    pointed me to BlueWave and I have never seen anything I like as well.

    Bluewave works fine in Windows up to WIN XP. For Win 7 and beyond, it
    would require DOSBOX or similar in order to run.

    I knew that it worked fine in Windows to a certain point, I just can't
    keep track of the split point when it didn't... thanks for that... :)

    I wasn't going to bother with the details... ;0 But, yes... :)

    All the same, there was some development for other platforms without
    him... and both Dale and Richard brought it into the 21st century. :)
