I found a cd on which I backed up my whole icq directory back in 98.
I can view the dat file in a editor and find chunks of text but its not very pretty.
I tried a few apps like icrn that say they can read database files but it doesn't work, they do say its form 99 and up, my icq must of been icq98a.
Installing icq98a from scratch gives me the login or register screen, this is no good since those old icq servers are gone.
If I could somehow install icq and make it belive that it is logged in as my old original uin (which I have access to) I think I could copy the db directory over and it should show up as history.
Does anybody know how I could view my old logs properly or somehow force a icq98a install on to think it is logged on?
