I have saved them as a plain ANSI *.txt file - or at least I have saved 1 of them while I try to get it to work. Still can't seem to figure it out, it looks a lot to me like the way Party encodes their hand histories on their own servers or whatever is just incompatible with PokerTracker... The notation looks pretty weird.
I guess it might help if I included a sample hand, so here's one.

Anything that can be done to sort this out?
Also, something unrelated but kinda interesting which I didn't know before... it looks like the Party software shuffles the deck once prior to each hand rather than using a continuous shuffle. Makes no practical difference to anything whatsoever of course but kinda interesting IMO nonetheless.
