I checked a stored message that makenl generates. It has the complete 4D address of the source and destination in the header (and also the source address in the MSGID kludge). A tosser should put those in the INTL kludge of the packed message in the .pkt file it generates. The Fuzzy Zone setting shouldn't overrule the information in an INTL kludge if present. So where does this go wrong?


Bye, Wilfred.
