any ideas?
Like Banzai said, the exported files are not exactly like the ones that Stars saves (we, but not me, fixed this for the old importer--IIRC, the difference is tiny). If you still have the original HHs, those should import. Meanwhile, I am PMing you my email addr so you can send me a few of the exported files.
It is best to compress the files with 7zip (
free download) because it reliably preserves the character encoding (which is darn important--the default Windows file compression tool does not preserve the encoding). Also don't edit the files with your text editor, because that will often change the encoding. I think vim (
free download) doesn't change the encoding.
BTW: if these files are huge, is there a way to export just a few hands at a time?
