   Hi Jeff   
      
   Yes Mark has basically said the same thing.   
      
   I have sought clarification in the FTSC echo in an attempt to find some   
   documentation that confirms this. Perhaps it's a case of some FTN software   
   looks for this whilst others do not?   
      
   Best, Paul
