For the above, you would put something similar to:

1:167/133 via x:xx:xxx
1:* 2:* etc. VIA 1:229/1000

Here are the switches used with the pack command:

Five switches may be used:

/A        Do not process AreaMgr requests

/C        Include messages with Crash status. Normally these          
messages will not be packed.

/H        Include messages with Hold status. Normally these
          messages will not be packed.

/O        Include orphaned messages. Normally these           messages will
not be packed.

/I        Only pack messages that are in transit. Normally
          all netmail messages destined for other nodes will be
          packed.

/L        Only pack messages that originated on your system.
          Normally all netmail messages destined for other
          nodes will be packed.

You can also find info on the pack manager in FMAIL.TXT

If you have any trouble with it, I have no problem with you sending a
netmail to me with an outline of what you want to do... I will happily put
together the file for you, and add a text explaining what is doing what,
that you can use for future reference.

 PL>> Oh... noting that you mentioned the *.pck file directly, don't

 AA> The last comment helps!   I completely forgot about Pack
 AA> Manager.

It makes it a little easier :)
