I used Fastcode32 (http://www.angelfire.com/ca/kent/frame.html) and it worked. (Of course my message base isn't 2GB in size though...) Another neat little trick is to change the extension of the message.tbb file to ".uue". Now you can open it using WinZip. (I'd recommend trying this method first as it is incredibly simple if it works.) Assuming that most of the message base is still intact and as (the other) Jonathan pointed out, that he wasn't using SecureBat the OP should be able to get at least some of his files out. -- Best regards, Jonathan Chattin mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.61 FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/
