Hey August!

Uncompressed .PKT files in order to avoid zip and other such corruption.  At
present, and past for that matter, this fidonet node has been using binkd for
transfers to host nodes out there it requires connecting with.

You have the basic idea.  However the format is not PKT as all of that is
stripped out considering it is utter crap.  Same with the first 14 bytes of
packed msg's which are also given ye olde heave-ho.  Basically it is a stored
msg format without any binary data to get in the way of progress.  It is 100%,
unadultered printable text with a few ascii control codes to facillitate all
sorts of compatibilty you can ever dream up, including QWK if that is actually
a desirable option, which of course it isn't.
