Not sure about that one, Steve.  Will research it a bit just for the heck of 
it.

Good show!

I use it heavily on the inbound packets from the NewsGate program, some of 
which get up into the multiple megs in size.  The Y2k date correction program  
(PKTDATE.EXE) barfs on packets over ~150 messages, so I split everything down 
smaller than that.

::Later::  Pktsort will indeed split messages and unsplit them as well.

Best regards,
Marc
