WHAT IS ADDQWK ?
---------------

          ADDQWK is a simple program to merge several QWK mail packets.

          I began this project when I started to download many packets from
     my favorites BBS.  The maximum messages was 400/packet when I had 800-
     1200 messages to get.  I had to open one, search for key words and do
     it again and again.  At least with this program you only have to search
     once.

                You must have at least 2 files.

                Only the files that exist will be treated.

                Exemple: - Yesterday you had SAMPLE1.QWK, SAMPLE2.QWK,
                           SAMPLE3.QWK and SAMPLE4.QWK

                         - Today you have SAMPLE1.QWK, SAMPLE2.QWK.

                         - Tomorrow you will have SAMPLE1.QWK, SAMPLE2.QWK
                           and SAMPLE3.QWK
