--> Quoting Jon Watson from a message to sean dennis <--

JW> Wicked, thanks Sean. I've stumbled (with a little help from Mark)

No problem.  I have the entire SWAG archive here-it's about 10MB
compressed, ¨but it's a godsend when you're programming.  I don't know if
you know Pascal or ¨not (seems like you do), but it's great to have.  Even
comes with its own ¨reader program.

JW> Is this the way it's supposed to be? Seems kinda laisse faire (no, I 
JW> can't spell that).

Your spelling looks good to me.  About the parsing of the AREA: keyword-to
be ¨honest, I know very, very little about it.  I've never yet figured out
how to ¨work with the .PKT format, but I may soon so I can write my own
message stuff.

I'd assume that there's people in here that could help more than I could
(Mark ¨Lewis comes to mind, so does Deuce [Stephen Hurd]).

Good luck with it and if you need any more stuff, please feel free to ask. :)

Later,
Sean
