The PF files contain raw packet data. You're free to parse them and use them for your own implementations as you like, but to do that you're gonna have to write some code. Some very ugly complicated code and you're gonna have to understand EQ packets inside and out to make sense of what's in the PF file.

That is way beyond the technical abilities of 95% of the userbase here. When something is that complex, it can't be solved in by a dev taking "a small amount of time to write a small howto." To do this would be akin to me asking a surgeon to "take a small amount of his time to write up a howto cuz my wife needs an operation but I wanna do it myself."

You are free to use the packet files for your own implementations. They are not encrypted, nor was anything about the collector designed as some conspiracy hide data from the unwashed masses. Just write your own code to parse the PF files and do what you like with them. If you can't code or don't understand the first thing about network packet structures, though, then you'll have to accept that it simply ain't gonna happen.
