   Hello everybody.

   Actually it turns out I'm still getting "MSGAPI: MERR_NOENT: File/message does   
   not exist" errors even after running sqconver, which is pretty weird when you   
   think about how sqconver is supposed to work.   
      
   I might try getting sqconver to convert the base to *.MSG format, then back to   
   Squish format.   
      
   Or I could just not use Squish format, I suppose. On modern PCs with new   
   filesystems, having few thousand *.MSG files in a single directory is not a   
   big deal.
