In the 'W' option for users, is now the ability for the user to pick what kind of Zoom they want. They can pick QWK, or the old ascii zoom option.

NOTE: You must first install some new Icons in the ZOOM dir, otherwise it wont work. You must have 3 Icons called:

       QWKCFG  --> In this icon are the following tooltypes:
                   BBS.NUMBER=<YOUR PHONE NUMBER> IE: 1-305-964-4263
                   BBS.ADDRESS=<ONE LINE ADDRESS> IE: FLORIDA

       QWPACK  --> In this icon are the following tooltypes:
                   LHA=c:LHA a
                   ZIP=c:ZIP -0

       ASCPACK --> In this icon are the following tooltypes:
                   LHA=c:LHA a
                   ZIP=c:ZIP -0

Edit them to fit your needs !

Now to be able to upload your replied messages from the QWK interface You need to do this.

To install: First: Make an icon called SQWK and put it in the bbs:cmds dir. It is a XIM door. Second: Put the sqwk file in the doors: dir. Third: Put the sqwkmerge file in the BBS:utils dir. It is now installed.

Now as the user, all you would have to do is hit SQWK at a menu prompt. The bbs will then be awaiting for your replied QWK mail. REMEMBER only send your reply packet in the upload. It should have the extension of .REP on the file. The user can go on and do other things while the QWK is unpacking the mail.
