I really don't know. You've used TrapDoor and it's Outbound: style. You tell me.

So that's what you mean by 4D. My meaning was along the lines of 4D
filenames. IE: zone.net.node.point.(((MO|TU|WE|TH|FR|SA|SU)[0-9])|PKT)

[ How's that for specific wildcarding? :) ]

Of course, you'd have to translate the filename(s) before transmission.

I'll trust you on this, but only because I have no idea of what you're talking about.

There's probably a couple of others who've since shovelled dirt into the
grave, but C= did their best to kill our favourite machine.

Well, just the net/node.point anyway. The FTSC specs set a bare minimum.

 Cache Ya,
