Ok, one suggestion... Tell me if a file is too short, or not quite right;
just yesterday, I got a GIFF file of a scud missile (?) from an info
server I think, but in its travels, it had been through a machine, an IBM I
believe which had made it go from ASCII to EBCDIC to ASCII, and all the
carets in it had gone... Then, after uudecoding, it wasn't quite right.
Translator just showed a mostly black picture... Similarly with extra short
MTV pictures ... any short pictures in fact... it just blacks off the end...
Could it just pop up a window saying 'hi, this is a bit wrong isn't it?',
and display what it gets from it also...
