Within a 0000ffe8.ddn will be a number of PKts. I don't know what the
criteria for creating PKTs is, but for example in the .TU0 I just
received there are 11, of which 6 contain AvTech messages. The first
message in the last one (PKT date 7/1 {at} 11:29pm) is dated 3/1, there are
messages in the others dated eg 6/1 (PKTs dated 7/1, various times
starting at 8:45am). Those PKts will be processed sequentially by
PKTJOIN (yours or mine, I use mine) and PKT2QWK and thus I will have a
3/1 message in my QWK after some 6/1 messages.

They *might* be in chron order as you receive them, I have no way of
knowing that.

Regards, fIM.
