It already has over here.  That's what I was reporting.  Time will tell, to
show what Janis intends with the Zone 1 version... tomorrow morning.

(I wasn't around when zones were incorporated into the nodelist.  Thanks
for the insight.)

Yep.  And then there's the possibility to re-use the zone # for some other
purpose, perhaps.  I mean everyone knows that the first 6 zones are
Fidonet, but gosh, where does Zone 6 appear now(rhetorical)[shrug].  ;-)

Cheers,
Paul.
