Adding support for type-2 wouldn't kill me. You're right, but since it is
an baazar software development everyone can send me patches or even get an
account on the cvs-server so he can hack that into hpt for himself.
I will include type-2 packet reading in the TODO-list, but i hope another
one will be doing it.
The reason for the header-reading is, that hpt is developed so it can be
used on any machine out there. One of the problems is the different size of
the data types and the different byte order. hpt works on several unix
platforms. You can use it on a small Sun Sparcstation 4 to an Ultra2. It
works on a linux machine and on a Digital Unix alpha plattform. I even
compiled a dos-binary and it worked.
