We are both right, except:

1. I've never tried running qwk2pkt with an empty qwk

2. Bob is wrong about using a text editor, that's bad news.
Debug would be OK, but a text editor is liable to insert
extra characters.


Note that if you were to do both methods and compare the
difference, the only difference should be the timestamp.
FREQ FTS-0001.* to find out what the byte offset of the
timestamp is.  BFN.  Paul.
