Hey mark!

Understood.  However it did raise the issue that if 5D addressing isn't taken
care of then the original posting will produce an origPoint as well as a
destPoint with the '@domainname' taked on at the end such as;

  origPoint="0@fidonet"; destPoint="0@fidonet"

using your example.  To solve this I changed the split to;

  read origZone origNet origNode origPoint <<< \
    $(echo $origAddr | cut -f1 -d@ | tr ':/.' ' ')

and;

  read destZone destNet destNode destPoint <<< \
    $(echo $destAddr | cut -f1 -d@ | tr ':/.' ' ')

which produces the desired splits while retaining the 5D-ness of both the
complete origAddr and destAddr (ie 1:11/111.0@fidonet in your original
posting).  I currently cannot think of a need for either origDomain or
destDomain but have already come up with a way to extract it if and when it is
needed.  I have serious doubts that it is needed.

Life is good,
Maurice
