I did some investigation...

Software that doesn't support BCL files:

D'Bridge
Fastecho
Husky/hpt
SqaFix (os2)
Synchronet/sbbsecho


I found 1 other tosser that does:

https://github.com/r8/spacetoss

I have never heard of it before, and I doubt anyone is still using it...


And I found a util for BCL files on:

http://dloads.filenet.wwiv.net/transfer/MAILER2.HTM

NA2BCL  .RAR   30K     09-25-05    NA2BCL - Echolist in NA format to BCL
format
                                   converter. It is useful for FMAIL users -
                                   read readme.txt.

It's by a Russian sysop who has left fidonet. The documentation is in Russian,
but Google translate does a reasonable job on it.

It only converts simple area lists, without area descriptions, so it's
usefullness is limited...

Bye, Wilfred.
