 SH> Bluewave works perfectly under DosBox which is a free emulator.

Actually, it does have a few problems there.  To start with, there is a
bug having to do with its update of the message flags.  That has been
fixed via a patch by someone on the dosbox forum, vogons.org.  I just
looked and could not find the messages talking about it -- they were
quite a while ago.  I could probably find the patch for anyone
interested and email it to you.  Or Mark Lewis may have it on his BBS
site?

The second problem is annoying, and cannot be fixed.  It has to do with
the date/time stamp on the QWK file.  In normal DOS, Bluewave leaves
that stamp alone -- and in fact uses an index based on the stamp to give
you info about the QWK packet in the future.  In DOSBOX, the date/time
stamp gets updated each time you open the file.  For that reason, I use
Bluewave in a virtual window running XP.
