FastEcho, for example, always uses the hex zone        number extension for domain directories.              ie: micronet.26a for Micronet zone 618, even though 618 is the primary zone in        that domain.              Thus, by lying to binkd that the primary zone for all domains is 1, you can        force binkd to use the hex zone extension for all of your added domains, which        is exactly what FastEcho produces.              Andrew              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20240209        * Origin: Phoenix BBS * phoenix.bnbbbs.net (1:320/219)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 16/0 19/37 40 105/81 106/201 123/130 128/187 129/305       SEEN-BY: 132/174 142/104 926 153/7715 203/0 218/700 221/0 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/110 114 200 206 300 307 317 426 428 550 664 700 705 240/5832       SEEN-BY: 266/512 282/1038 291/111 292/854 320/119 219 319 2119 322/757       SEEN-BY: 322/762 342/200 396/45 633/280 712/848 902/26       PATH: 320/219 229/426           |
