What is this jam file?

The JAM file extension was used with the JAM Message based format, and was the popular file format for saving message bases in DOS-based BBSes during the 1990s. The file extension JAM was named after the original authors of the Application Programming Interface, and it stands for "Joaquim-Andrew-Mats". Joaquim was the creator of the DOS-based FidoNet compatible Mailer called Front Door and Andrew created Remote Access, a Bulletin Board System that was also DOS-based. The JAM file extension was released in the C language.FidoNet is a non-commercial network, organized together BBSs and over time, supported the JAM file extension for its format. Other BBS Software adapted to support FidoNet Protocol and the network became a means of communication for hobbyist computer users.The JAM file extension can be used by developers as long as several specifications are exactly followed. It is available free of charge and can be freely distributed or copied. All applications that support the JAM file extension must have a copyright notice in their documentations, stating that it was created by the authors. Organizations or persons cannot impose any fee on the API for personal gain. The Jam file extension is based on the method of immediate relations between given messages and the direct replies to it.The file extension JAM is also supported by several message editors that utilize MSGID and REPLY FTS kludge fields. These are known as common, but are expressed differently in messages that are not FidoNet Technology based. The advantage of storing files in a .jam file extension is that the program quickly finds the original message to a reply, and it look for all the replies to any message. One application that uses the JAM message base format is the JAM NNTP server that works with the messages that are saved in JAM Message bases, and acts as the interface between the news reader and the message base. It can be used to view any newsreader, to be able to write and read FidoNet messages locally or over the web.
