I tried this after your last message as well. Same results.

I've come to the same conclusion as well, tenatively. No, NG3 doesn't have a
clue about my file formats. I no longer have access to a Windows server to do
immediate testing of NG3, but I do have an archive of it on one of my machines
at home. I'll do some experimentation and see what I can figure out. Are
there any diff tools that will show binary changes that you are aware
of? I've
got a few here, but they all refuse to perform on binaries.
