• Qwk file areas

    From Grease@21:4/10 to All on Tue Oct 22 18:24:38 2019
    It's been a bit for me, but how do you set up the areas to recieve files?
    Any help welcome.

    Thanks,

    There is no automated way to do that with QWK the way you can do this
    with FTN and .tic files.

    It's possible you can ask BP to put files in your out directory and they
    will arrive in your in directory. They will stay there until you do
    something with them.

    Thanks, just trying to remember how I did all this from 20 something years
    ago.

    Yep, I used the in and out directory to send/get files for InterBBS
    gaming before. Works well for that. It's a reliable way to get files
    moving but what happens to them when they arrive is up to you.

    Will give it a go.
