Ok, [1] will be changed in the next release.

There is already a solution to [2]:

Open a command line and issue for example the following command:

openxp.exe zfido - fz C:\Fidopkt\A*.pkt D:\Output\Buffer.z

This will convert all PKT-files starting with letter A in folder C:\Fidopkt
into a ZConnect buffer file named "Buffer.z" in folder D:\Output.

Then start OpenXP normally and do "Import" => "Read Zerberus Puffer".
Choose D:\Output\Buffer.z as the file to import.

If you enter "openxp.exe zfido" on the command line you will get a list of
all available command line options.
