Thanks for the comments Andrew.

ac> Bzzt.  You've made the same mistake as FTS-1.  TOPT is used to specify the 
ac> point of the _destination_ node.  

Yeah, I sure stuffed that up.  I was probably copying from the
description above.

I haven't changed this.  I checked FTS-0004, and it has a space
after the tearline.



ac> (There is a leading space in front of the asterisk.)

Changed this.

Which 5d format?  I don't know too many that will parse fidonet#3:711/934.9.

Ok, changed this.


And I can't see a reason to allow this when FTS-4 doesn't even allow
it.  BFN.  Paul.
