Subject: [mSQL] Fixing foobar'd .dat file
From: "Brian T. O'Neill" <btoneill@member.com>
Date: Wed, 23 Apr 1997 16:36:04 -0500

Ok, i have a foobar'd .dat file from a fs getting filled up in msql1.x
i'm writing a perl program to parse the file, only problem i'm having is that
i don't know how the int's are stored... they show up as 2<9C><BF><F1> or
such... i figured they are packed or something of that sort, anyone care to
toss me a hint on how to get the int data out of it? any help would be
greatly appreciated...

thanks in advance,

Brian
