  • Import QWK Packets

    From Mike Dippel@21:2/125 to Avon on Friday, February 17, 2023 17:00:32
    I get a message that after it downloads a QWK packet, it is unable to find it. No messages are imported as a result.

    I did everything as it was explained. I have the mystic\localqwk directory defined. I just don't know where the packet downloads to.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm traveling and not at my PC at the moment Mike, someone else may chime in with ideas... QWK is not an area of expertise but can you confirm you're downloading it from the Mystic menu on your BBS and trying to read it with a QWK reader - do I understand things correctly?

    I can see that the QWK packet is forming, and uploading to the BBS. After it uploads, I
    get the error that it cannot find it. Nothing imports into the BBS even though quite a
    number of messages were in the packet.

    Not a big thing. I will eventually figure it out.

    I realized when I sent the message that you were travelling. Not sure why I addressd it
    to you. Just hoping you had an answer.

    Safe travels.
