Hi Paul,
         I'm writing a PD PKT twitter for use with TinyPoint. I won't 
tell you that I'm going to use Visual Basic because it will only upset 
you, so we can pretend I'm using portable ISO-C compiled by Watcom.

  Just looking at the packet, it seems that every message begins with
C702 C702 0000 0000 and I can use this to identify messages. I have
tried it manually, just overwriting the message with spaces, and it
seems to work okay, but I'm a worried there may be a trap for young
players (and poor old pensioners).  

  I have a two questions:

1.  Is the C702 C702 0000 0000 a reliable identifier?

2.  If not, what is?

3.  Will over-writing spaces between the C702... etc damage the packet?

4.  Where can I get the PKT specifications?

5.  Is true love the most important thing in the Universe? (I just threw 
    that in, on the offchance you'd know).

Regards,
Bob
