Maximus 2.02 does not recognise domains, full stop.  Is it broken?

FTS-1 mentions zones, nets, nodes and points, but not domains.  I don't
think it is particularly wise to define FTS1-only software as 'broken'.

"Interestingly" ?  That's the most boring thing I've heard all day.

From what I understand, the TIC file format specifies that software
should support 5D-addressing where possible.  I can't remember the name
of the document that defines the TIC file format though.  I'm not
surprised that most of the TIC processing software you've encountered can
handle 5D-addressing, since TIC processors are relatively recent
(widely-used) inventions as far as FidoNet technology goes.
