Does anyone know of a pkt viewer that will indicate the type or
version of pkt you are viewing?
I know of a few
but am not able to get what I need. What I'm hoping for is something
that will open any pkt and report the version and any anomolies it
might find.

can you be more specific? what, exactly, are you looking for?

which ones?
version determination is generally very simple... you look for certain relatively sane data in certain positions... if it doesn't fit the definition of sane then you try with another PKT format and look for relatively sane data again...
as for anomalies, i guess that depends on what one calls an anomaly...

A pkt viewer that can tell me the version of a particular pkt and tell me if it is valid pkt or not.
James Coyle is looking for this because we have been having trouble
with some pkts and looking for a solution. I think he is trying to identify the type of pkt he has and then it can be tossed without
error. It's all a little over my head but I am searching for such a
thing if I can find one I think it would make his job easier.

I use pktview from husky. It's all I have but it doesn't tell me the
pkt version. James also has pktdump but it crashes and deletes the
file. He also has inspecta but that doesn't seem to read the pkt at
all.

I'm going to pass this on to him and let him know where I got it. He
may have further questions for you.. I'm lost already.. :)

Something that causes the tosser to do unwanted or unexpected things especially if it disrupts the smooth flow of mail.
can you send me one of those PKTs that inspecta won't read? that's
really weird for it to not read them... make sure you archive it so that my system won't try to process it as mail...

It's in your inbound. I sent it as bbbs_pkt.zip. That's a pkt created
by BBBS. It's just a test netmail sent to James from 1:153/757.1 just
so he could look at that pkt.

my tool says that it is a type 2+ PKT...

Try InspectA. DOS and OS/2 versions only IIRC.

That's good to know.. we were uncertain but James had thought so. That pkt does toss OK but mystic logs that it comes from 1:65535/757 but it's
1:153/757.1.
If I add a password to that pkt Mystic says invalid password and
doesn't toss it. Do you have any idea why that would happen? Something seems just a bit off but I don't know what.
There have also been problems with pkt files from/to daydream, they
seem more problematic but I have not seen any of those.
Can I pick your brain for a minute? O:-)
What pkt type are there in use today? I have heard of Type-2, 2+ and
2.2. Is that it or are there more?
