More info?)
It looks to be some rare dialect of greek
.. I expected it to word
wrap, since partinfo's output is greater than 80 chars/line, but your
news reader also seems to have deleted the carriage returns and
linefeeds in the original before the wrap. (?) Fixing simple word
wrap is pretty easy but this is a pretty good mess. Maybe you could
email it to me as an attachment and I'll post it.? Remove REMOVE from
my return address, or better yet you can find one of my primary
addresses at this site-
