Hi All,

FTS-5005.002 says about .try files:

  5.3.  try control file

        This control file is created by a mailer when a connect
        attempt is finished - successful or not. It is named the same
        way as a flow file but with the extension ".try".

        An existing try file is replaced by a new one.

        A try file must contain one line string with a diagnostic
        message. It is for information purposes only.

        For information purposes the second line of a try file may
        contain one line of PID information. ( < 70 characters)

Now I noticed that binkd is writing 5 binary bytes to a try file. Seems like
some status information, plus the following string length.

Is FTS-5005 not correct? Or does binkd have its own idea about try files?

Bye, Wilfred.
