Bill,
You REALLY don't like being corrected, do you?
Rather than over quote and confuse the issue with lots of BS>
(Pun Intentional!) let me respond in brief fashion.
First of all, I pay absolutely no attention to what version of
PCB anybody is running, and couldn't care less in fact whether
any particular one is FTS0001 compatible or not.  Having received
netmail from someone running a version of PCB, however, with
instructions to forward it to you to demonstrate that it was FTS
compatible, I naturally assumed the latest was indeed up to
standards!
Secondly, you keep telling me to prove that there are not 2
versions of Opus 173A out there, but the evidence you have for
there being two is so shakey I don't know what to tell you!
Bill, because you connect to some and you don't to others is not
the kind of evidence to support such a claim, things like CRC and
the like much better sources, and if the CRC on my Opus isn't the
same as most all the other Opuses out there, I'll eat a bug!
Finally, and most important, Stu isn't running vanilla Opus
anymore, he hasn't been for months, and if you're still
conducting your tests that way, what can I say?  You questioned
my reading ability in your message, but since I stated in my
original message this was the case, and you even quoted those
lines, here's coming back to you!
Again, I have no idea whether the version of PCB you're talking
about is FTS compatible or not, but a friend of yours sent me
mail using his PCB mailer, and I sent it to you.  Beyond that,
I'm willing to bet you can't find two different versions of
Opus.EXE 173A in this net, you name the wager!
                                        Willie
... I always listen!
