hmm looks like i've overlooked some stuff in my examination of the DAT file. the repairer actually counts the number of sources by counting the number of @ surrounded by alphanumeric chars (the character after it can only be an M for musiccity, a K for Kazaa, a G for Grokster or ? for unknown)
so, if the pointer was corrupt and wouldnt go back far enuff, so u had to start at the end of the list (well, the end of the file, is it possible to find the end of the list from the end of the file?) how would you work your way back?
