[nos-bbs] NOS and Airmail

Understood.

I was actually given the spec for B2F by one of the WinLink people
quite some time ago and started doing some stuff, but I got stuck,
and frankly a bit disinterested too. The spec was not complete, so
that was a big part of it, ie: the compression part wasn't there.

Just recently I was given another contact regarding the spec, so
maybe I'll try again and see what info I can get.

Agreed. Forcing the B2F is a very good incentive if the NOS community
wants the ability to integrate their NOS based systems into the WinLink
and Airmail systems out there.

That keeps the *dinosaur* alive a bit longer I suppose :-)

BUT, how many NOSers out there are really interested ???

> I'm looking forward, once we have B2F, to take it a step further

I'll see what I can do about it.
