Hello Gonzalo.

I have finally managed to download and install the BW for Mac! ;)

A few questions:

- As I could notice, it's a bundle of DOSBOX. How do I integrate it in such a way that it can read my directories (My BW packages are downloaded to /Users/flbessa/multimail/down for instance)
- How can I "register" the SW?

Hello Gonzalo.

A few questions:

- As I could notice, it's a bundle of DOSBOX. How

There are a few problems with the Bluewave under DOSBOX. One problem
shows up when it is packing up its files, and causes a serious flaw.
There is a fix for this problem. Take a look at the discussion on
vogons.org

https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=18242&p=132706&hilit=bluewave#p132706

The other problem has to do with the way that Bluewave uses the
timestamps on the QWK files. There is no fix I know of for this, but it
is not too serious. Because of these problems, I run BlueWave in a
virtual WINXP window, but if you fix the first problem you should be
able to run it using DOSBOX.

do I integrate it in such a way that it can read my
directories (My BW packages are downloaded to /Users/flbessa/multimail/down for instance)

When you open up Bluewave, there is a menu at the top. Use the arrow to
go over to the CONIG option. There you will find options on where to
look for your mail packets / reply packets etc. Since Bluewave is in
reality a DOS program, it is going to be looking for directories in the
DOS form, e.g. D:\users\flbessa\multimail\down etc. I don't know enough
about MAC to say how you should set that up. I suspect that there might
be some sort of "mount" command that would allow you to equate D: to a particular Mac directory, e.g. Set D: = /users/flbessa/multimail and
then go from there. If you can get that to work, then D:\down would be
where your mail goes.

- How can I "register" the SW?

You cannot register it any more. The original author left the scene
several decades ago. You can run it as unregistered. You might find a registration key if you search the web hard enough.

One can contact me. I don't normally agree with cracking software but it's been 20+ years; George ain't comin' back (though I wish I could get the source!).

Later,
Sean

Yeah, by default it will be looking inside of the BlueWave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/ directory.
If you want to manipulate the paths then you should have to configure file:

BlueWave.app/Contents/Resources/bin/dosbox.conf which is the one for DosBox.

- How can I "register" the SW?

At the present, there is not legal way of registering it(as they have already said), but it's still a fully working copy.

Also this copy it's already patched, with the very latest patch ever released for the 2K effect...
