< h3 id = "supported-standards" > Supported Standards< / h3 >
< p > QWK must be considered a semi-standard as there are many implementations. What follows is a short & incomplete list of such standards ENiGMA½ supports:< / p >
< ul >
< li > The basic < a href = "http://fileformats.archiveteam.org/wiki/QWK" > QWK packet format< / a > .< / li >
< li >
< a href = "https://github.com/wwivbbs/wwiv/blob/master/specs/qwk/qwke.txt" > QWKE extensions< / a > .< / li >
< li >
< a href = "http://wiki.synchro.net/ref:qwk" > Synchronet BBS style extensions< / a > such as < code class = "language-plaintext highlighter-rouge" > HEADERS.DAT< / code > , < code class = "language-plaintext highlighter-rouge" > @< / code > kludges, and UTF-8 handling.< / li >
< / ul >
< h3 id = "configuration" > Configuration< / h3 >
< p > QWK configuration occurs in the < code class = "language-plaintext highlighter-rouge" > messageNetworks.qwk< / code > config block of < code class = "language-plaintext highlighter-rouge" > config.hjson< / code > . As QWK wants to deal with conference numbers and ENiGMA½ uses area tags (conferences and conference tags are only used for logical grouping), a mapping can be made.< / p >

< p > < img class = "emoji" title = ":information_source:" alt = ":information_source:" src = "https://github.githubassets.com/images/icons/emoji/unicode/2139.png" height = "20" width = "20" > During a regular, non QWK-Net exports, conference numbers can be auto-generated. Note that for QWK-Net style networks, you will need to create mappings however.< / p >

messageNetworks: {
qwk: {
areas: {
general: { // local ENiGMA½ area tag
conference: 1 // conference number to map to
}
}
}
}
