I am not sure of how to begin with the perl script. Is there anyone out there who can help. The instructions from Netscape are as follows... ======= The binary file format used by this MIME type is simple, yet extensible. It consists of consecutive name/value pairs separated by 4 bytes of size information: | 4 bytes | ------ x bytes ------ | 4 bytes | ------ y bytes ------ | (x) (name) (y) (value) The parser iterates as follows until it reaches the end of the stream: Read 4 bytes of binary data and cast to int for size of Name in bytes (x) Read (x) bytes of ASCII data for the name Read 4 bytes of binary data and cast to int for size of Value in bytes (y) Read (y) bytes of ASCII data for the value ================ cheers craig To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
