Hey Nicholas!

 NB> CapabilityWord error in following pkt!

I'll have to look that up to see what field(s) it is supposed to match.  Also
due to the lack of suitable documentation, I will reverse engineer your pkt
headers and see what I can match up to my 2+ pkt generator and see what gives
there.

 NB> further testing to get this figured out

Agreed.  Again, due to the lack of proper documentation I plan to try the old
school backwards engineering methodology before getting too worked up about it.
 ;-)

If you are aware of any PROPER documentation where a thingy like the perl
oneliner I posted can be formed from, now would be an excellent time to bring
it up and possibly save much grief.  I doubt such documentation truly exists
but maybe.  I am unaware of any and originally built that one from using the
hit and miss method.

 NB> is why is there two "fidonet" entries in the above routine?

Those match with domain names for 5d addressing such as 1:153/7001.0@fidonet. 
They can easily be changed to variables if and when it ever matters.  At the
moment it doesn't ... does it?

BTW the reason I prefer type 2.2, not that I really care, is that it contains
no datetime stamps which might help out systems that cannot generate datetime
stamps, especially obsolete ones.  Just a thought.

Life is good,
Maurice
