This might not be the correct echo for this but I am looking for a
program or utility that will convert QWK to REP packets and vice
versa. I have an older program called QWK2REP but it's coded in TP
probably and it doesn't want to be patched. Any ideas, let me know
please.
Just to be courius, for what purpose?

I used to use the utility to convert packets so I could pull DoveNet
into my Virtual Advanced BBS. Worked great too :)

Ahh I see, it would be very deficult to do with maximus for me.
Maximus has no commandline QWK tosser.
This is the right echo. <G>
Have you run UNP against the program first then tried to patch it? A lot of Pascal EXEs were compressed... I've had to do that a lot with older doors and stuff on my system.

I did but it didn't work. It worked on Win98 but not on XP (strange).
I have another copy which I'll try on that.
I did but it didn't work. It worked on Win98 but not on XP (strange).What you might want to do is create a shadow (sorry, OS/2 speak)...er, a shortcut to COMMAND.COM and tell XP that it's Win95 compatible... maybe that will work. I honestly haven't worked much with XP in that regard, so I'm not completely sure.

Hm A right click on the exe in explorer will let you pick properties
(edit the "pif" file) where there is a compatability section.
Maybe telling XP to treat it as a win95 or win98 program there will
help?
Actually Sean, that's how I run my bbs :)
