Your thoughts >are greatly appreciated. Thx, Glenn You can create a PIPE filter that will strip out the CCB and create a FOS or AFOS style wrapper around the data. The problem with your data stream is that there is no way to know where the end of a product is- so that PIPEing the stream to a decoder would be very hard.
