Roy, your comment was the best because it brought me on the right track: make your own thing and dont care! So I took your advice and hacked a Perl script, and thats now for me better than any other tool because it automatically detects all crazy formats I currently know of :) - and hey! its even acceptable in speed! Also it needs no external tools because Perl comes with wonderful modules, so it should run on every platform which supports Perl. Nevertheless the discussion was worth for me so far that I now know what strange formats I might come over, and what tools are available on which platform. Finally I've written together the results so that I can later self read again when I've forgotten (you know Alsheimer). In case someone is interested in that, or in the script (I post mainly for the few users who might hang out here - I know devs prefer to hack their own shell scripts, and dont call tools without at least one pipe :) :) ), then go here: http://www.gknw.net/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=570 for further discussions about the script please register to my forum and post there - I dont want to spam the list here.
have fun! Gün.
