   Not really, you can only define the default zone number for a domain not   
   multiple zones (like 1, 2, 3, 4 for Fidonet). As long as the default domain is   
   the only one with multiple zones it works fine in 5D mode. Appart from the   
   fact that Binkd also doesn't create standard conformant outbound dirs as   
   defined in fts-5005, e.g. it should look like this   
      
     c:\bink\outbound        (Default Outbound)   
     c:\bink\outbound.002    (FidoNet Zone 2)   
     c:\bink\outbound.003    (FidoNet Zone 3)   
     c:\bink\outbound.004    (FidoNet Zone 4)   
     c:\bink\amiganet.027    (Amiganet Zone 39)   
     c:\bink\agoranet.02e    (Agoranet Zone 46)   
     c:\bink\dbnet.0c9       (Dbnet Zone 201)   
      
   but Binkd is omitting the zone number after the dot.   
      
   The 4D workaround is mentioned in the official BINKD FAQ, which suggests that   
   it should work just fine.
