Database QWK Readers?

udhay asks: "Like many other slashdot readers, I got my start online through BBSes. I also have tons of old QWK packets from the old days. I occasionally get the urge to re-read those, but it gets tedious to do it one by one. I've been hunting for a database QWK reader that will consolidate all the QWK packets into one message base, for easy retrieval. I haven't been able to find any in lots of hunting on simtel and the like, though. I was wondering if any of the Slashdot readers would know of such an app? Windoze or Linux."
