ahhh... what the heck... the following will read the MSG header and display
it... i'll leave the processing of the messagebody as an exercise For the
reader(s)... it's a lot of fun... make sure you get/have the FTSC documents
handy... there is one that talks about hints to follow when processing messages
(in .PKT's and in .MSG's) like filtering out all CR's, LF's and softcarriage
returns -=B-)
