Howdy,

Line 3792: if(foreign_zone(addr.zone, paths.addr[u].zone) || paths.addr[u].point)

Is sbbsecho allowing for a 3D/4D/5D item in the PATH kludge?

(I'm wondering how you get a "zone" (or a "point") from the PATH kludge, which I've only ever seen as a 2D address - but then it seems gen_psb() can parse 4D addresses in the PATH?)

The rest of the code looks like it only ever writes a 2D address.

Did I understand that right?
