  • .BAD qwk packets

    From poindexter FORTRAN@VERT/REALITY to All on Saturday, September 07, 2019 23:32:08
    Well, I'm back up and running on a new Windows 10 system with new binaries. One problem I've got is that my QWK network parameters were pointing to missing archivers, and so I have a dozen or so qwk packets with a .BAD extension in the DATA directory.

    Is there any way to manually import them into the BBS?

    Just rename them to vert.qwk, one at a time, and the BBS event thread should automatically detect and import them.

    That worked - thanks!

    Grats, I think you can just rename them back to .pkt and drop them into your incoming folder and run sbbsecho.
