I forgot to mention: To be able to jump to a point in the recording,
you should first create an index of the recording.  You can jump
without the index, but it is MUCH slower.

So if you have a CamBot recording called cambot.pkt, you create the index by:

$ netrek -Fi cambot.pkt

And it will create two files, cambot.pkt.idx and cambot.pkt.cxt.  When
you then playback the recording:

$ netrek -F cambot.pkt

It will automatically find the index files.
