So your generated packet headers will only work with Fidonet? Reason I ask, is
why is there two "fidonet" entries in the above routine?

By the way, hpt.texi mentions this "CapabilityWord" as something used by old
software.

IgnoreCapWord definition:

"Ignoring Capability Word in pkt files. If some pkt moved to bad. This may
help, but not recommended. It is better to change old software."

So I'm guessing you're using some kind of capability word in your headers that
are causing hpt to consider it bad.

Regards,
Nick
