Years ago I wrote this for Python 2.x.

I've only tested it with Type 2+ packets as that's the only packet type
anyone has ever sent me!

It will probably need modification for Type 2.2 and other uncommon packet types.

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys, struct, glob

PROGRAM  = 'PyPktList'
VERSION  = '1.3'
WHO      = 'Andrew Clarke '
BACKWHEN = '2006'
WHEN     = '2016'

def show_usage():
  print PROGRAM + ' ' + VERSION
  print 'This program lists the contents of FidoNet Type 2 mail packet.'
  print
  print 'Usage: pktlist.py [pktfile ...]'
  print
  print 'Where pktfile is a file containing FidoNet Type 2 packed messages.'
  print 'Wildcards (eg. *.pkt) are allowed.'
  print
  print PROGRAM + ' was written by ' + WHO + ' in ' + BACKWHEN
  print 'and released to the public domain. Version ' + VERSION + ' was
released in ' + WHEN + '.'
