• Hello all, what would be the recommended Binkp/Binkd software to use

    From Flavio Bessa@2:460/58 to All on Wed Jan 6 02:35:10 2021
    Hello all, what would be the recommended Binkp/Binkd software to use under DOS? I have been trying this wonderful tool called Indigo - which converts the BlueWave and . REP files into FTN-style packages, transforming BlueWave reader into a point system - but it doesn't have a suitable mailer.

    I have been experimenting with Internet Rex, but would like to use an easier software - any recommendations will be more than welcome

    I use OpenXP on my WinXP-based system. OpenXP is a "console-based" system, but I am not sure if it can just operate in a pure DOS environment. I'll try to find out. Meanwhile, you see what it looks like with the Screenshots at https://openxp.kolico.ca

    It is great! If you want to give it a try, take a look at:

    https://www.softwolves.pp.se/sw/files/

    You will be able to download Indigo 0.01 from there.

    I have used OpenXP for a while, but unfortunately it can't be used for that. I needed a Binkp-compatible mailer, plain and simple

    I thought that since you were "struggling" with converting QWK to FTN and needed a mailer, then an all-in-one solution like OpenXP would work.

    But if you want to specifically build different parts and stitch them together as a working system, then power to you! :-)
