Hey mark!

 ml> my type 2+ stuff uses both of the named documents

I see that but have yet to take a looksee at either.  Thanks for the heads up.

 ml> it may have been the document that Stephen Hurd (Deuce) was
 ml> working on

I am wondering if that is the same one I saw and now looks to be missing in
action.  If so it was a well written doc as per all three pkt types.

Speaking of a difference I see in your READPKT.PAS that proddata in type 2.2 is
defined as "array[0..3] of char" whereas in the posted type 2.2 I have it as a
32 bit integer.  FSC-0045 doesn't define it but does have it's width specified
as 4 bytes which doesn't help matters any.  Personally either/or is fine with
me but I was hoping to get it right and a 32 bit integer is not the same as a 4
byte character string/array/whatever other than they are both 4 bytes at the
same offset.

Life is good,
Maurice
