11/01/2003: First release of agent2mbox 1.0

This is a perl, GPL licensed, converter for Forte Agent files to plain mbox files.
This will not convert filters or attachs, just the messages.

i dont use forte agent and i only have some .dat files to test but it seens that is working fine...
if you find any bug, please contact me to this email agent2mbox{@}caravela.homelinux.net

it will convert one .dat file at the time, so to convert all files do something like this in you unix box:

	for i in *.DAT ; do agent2mbox $i ; done
if all in just one dir or
	find . -name \*.dat -exec agent2mbox {} \;
to search and convert in several folders

this converter was based in my kmx2mbox converter script that converts Mail Warrior .kmx mailboxes, so probably there are things in this script that arent really used in the convertion from agent.
if i have more free time i will hunt then down and remove then but they shouldnt do any harm too, just making the script more complex

this was made to help Luis Ferreira from pt.comp.so.linux to export his old agent archive messages to any format usable by linux. He was the guy that gave me some of agent .dat file that made this possible.

Good luck and enjoy
