Forgot to add, I also developed a BlueWave-compatible offline-reader called Wolverine that worked for all Fido-style networks: https://github.com/ssg/wolverine

It was quite popular in Turkey in the 90's.

You can try it out in DOSBox here with some random HitNet packages: https://github.com/ssg/wolverine/releases/tag/2.32

WOW! Your FatalVision (1) is absolutely shiny! Wish I'd had it in the 90s.

Respect for the file_id.diz (2)! I thought mine was the last one on GitHub.

I completely forgot about Wolverine, but you've reminded me I was using that back in the day to read my mail from Fidonet point (as well as Bluewave).
