What is Fast HQWK?

Fast HQWK is simply the most powerful QWK-door for the MBBS. It offers
you the ability to do all your BBSing off line, which of course will
reduce your phone bill drastically.

HQWK is compatible with any standard QWK-reader, and has proven to work
fine even with some no-standard readers. HQWK utilizes most extended
QWK-definitions, like the PCB extended message headers, so you will get
the most by using an up to date reader.

In addition, HQWK introduces a whole new concept to the MBBS. A graphic
user interface! HQWK enables use of rich text, graphics, and file links
in messages. To be able to use these functions you need the HyperSoft
software for Windows/Win95/NT (see the HQWK help file for info).

Why should you use HQWK?

 HQWK offers the fastest way to exchange information with MBBS.
 HQWK has more offline options than any other mail door.
 HQWK enables a graphic user interface to MBBS.
 HQWK enables you to spend the least time online.
 HQWK is user friendly and very easy to use.
 HQWK is available at many BBSes in Norway and Finland.

HQWK uses a series of optimization techinques to squeeze the most
speed out of any process. HQWK grabs/installs messages and lists
files faster than any other mail door available, even twice as fast
as MBBS itself.

HQWK offers a heap of commands you should use if you wish to do
more than just exchange messages. HQWK can upload and download
files, search for files and messages, enter your resum, send away
notifications, user information, and general BBS-statistics. HQWK
also provides many special commands for BBS SigOps and SysOps.

Command message examples:

An example command message could contain the following text:

DL W95DRV1.ZIP
DL W95DRV2.ZIP
ADD General/Cars
DROP General/Motorcycles
SEEK Game
LIMIT MSGS 3000000

This message would, if sent, tell HQWK that you want to download the
two files W95DRV1.ZIP and W95DRV2.ZIP, join the General/Cars conference,
resign from the General/Motorcycles conference, seek for any files
regarding games, and set the maximum ammount of bytes in messages you
wish to receive for each grab. Fast and easy, isn't it!
