   wait! what? are you saying that your linux compiled binary cannot read those   
   messages but the original DOS one has no problems with them?? how are you   
   compiling? are you trying to do 16bit, 32bit or 64bit?? can you be more   
   explicit about "the messages being garbled"?? got pics?

   there is no conversion to be done... PKTs are binary and you don't convert   
   them like that any more than you convert an exe file like that... what are you   
   trying to convert the PKTs to?? the tosser ""converts"" them when it strips   
   off the PKT header and then imports each message in the PKT into the message   
   base... that's not even a conversion, really...
