    KH> "FTSC Product Codes", http://ftsc.org/docs/fta-1005.003, says:   
      
   i think he's talking about the product code inside the PKTs created to carry   
   the packed messages... depending on which PKT type is being constructed, the   
   code may be different? type 2(.0) and 2.2 both have one byte for the product   
   code but 2+ has two (non-consecutive) bytes allocated for the product code...   
      
    KH> Can you give me an url to a newer spec saying 0x01ff?   
      
   http://ftsc.org/docs/ftscprod.017 shows two codes for BBBS...   
      
   0110,BBBS,MSDOS/OS2/NT/Amiga/Unix,Mailer/Packer,Kim_Heino,2:22/222,19980216   
   01FF,BBBS,MSDOS/OS2/NT/Amiga/Unix,Mailer/Packer,Kim_Heino,2:22/222,19980216   
      
   plus there are these... the first two don't apply to BBBS but the 3rd one fits   
   with the 2nd of the above two...   
      
   00FE,No_product_id_allocated,Any,Packer,No_Author,3:3/20   
   00FF,16-bit_product_id,Any,Packer/Mailer,No_Author,3:3/20
