Re: WG: mhn2mbox - A MhonArc to "mbox" Converter

This is most embarassing. Lots of apologies for your troubles. The version
on the website had some careless bugs:

1. MBOXFILE was not opened for output
2. A number of variables were not declared properly 
3. A number of print statements needed cleanup.

I have just corrected these bugs and ran a test against the files in

  http://www.albany.net/~anthonyw/archivedemo/default

The output is at 

  http://www.albany.net/~anthonyw/archivedemo/08292001/

where mailbox.out is the output from the mhn2mbox script.

The new code is now version 0.36 and is available at 

 http://www.albany.net/~anthonyw/archivedemo/mhn2mbox-0.36

Sorry any inconvenience.
