Thanks so much for that contribution! It really made the migration easier for me / my users. Although at this point, I have disabled it, I still found it extremely useful to start with. I am running Merak 8.0.3, and the binary format still held true. BTW - did you figure out / reverse engineer that file format on your own, or did Merak actually give you any help/support with it?
