Hey Nicholas!

Please find below the oneliner for type 2 pkt headers gleemed from fts-0001.016
which makes it well documented.

---------- ye olde gpm cut n' paste starts
# generate Type 2 pktHeader
PKT_DATE=( $(date +"%Y %-m %-d %-H %-M %-S" | \
  awk 'BEGIN { OFS = "," } {print $1, $2-1, $3, $4, $5, $6}') )
echo -e
"$origNode,$destNode,${PKT_DATE[@]},0,2,$origNet,$destNet,0,0,,$origZone,$destZ
one," | \
  perl -e 'while(){@myarray = split(/,/, $_);};\
           print pack("S12C2a8S2a20", @myarray);' > $OUTPKT
---------- ye olde gpm cut n' paste ends

Note the additional awk call which fixes the month silliness (ie 0-11).  Same
will have to happen in type 2+ headers although it could have been taken care
of within the perl part as it has a builtin function for that particular
peculiarity.  However I prefer the awk call and when I originally wrote that
call was thinking I might use gawk for fidonetting more.

Anyhow I am glad to see type 2 pkt headers working again.  I am going to leave
the type 2.2 links as is for now as I think that is a better type especially
for nodes that cannot do datetime stamps.

Time for bed.  I earned it methinks.

Life is good,
Maurice
