JAM is a popular messagebase format for storing Fidonet messages originally devised by Joaquim Homrighausen, Andrew Milner, Mats Birch and Mats Wallin. JAMLIB is a subroutine library for manipulating such messagebases. JAMLIB was originally written by Björn Stenberg and later bugfixed and improved by Johan Billing. This version of JAMLIB can be compiled for Win32, OS/2 and Linux.

There are two different branches of JAMLIB. Sir Raorn and others have turned JAMLIB into a shared library and changed the build process to use GNU autoconf like most Linux software. Those versions are numbered 1.4 and higher and can be found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/jamlib. On this page, you will find development of the 1.3 branch, the platform-independent and highly portable original version of JAMLIB.

Recently, JAMLIB has also been reimplemented as a Perl module to allow easy access to JAM messagebases from Perl scripts.
