   Hi Marty,   
      
   PK> Are you able to provide some actual examples of    
   PK> file names used for these othernet addresses?    
      
    MB> 07120106.th1   
    MB> 073000ca.th0   
      
   Ummmm... Some relationship between the filenames and the EXPECTED addresses   
   would have been useful. However I now think that is not not relevant.   
      
   I just twigged that what is happening for you, also happens for BSO   
   processing, PROVIDED the user stuffs up the ROUTE.CFG file.......;-)   
      
   Your problem is simple, you are confusing Squish because it re-orders the   
   statements in the ROUTER.CFG file due to the FLAVOURS you are mixing together.    
      
           **** CHANGE is your friend! ***   
      
   One of my ROUTER.CFG Rules is that for any particular SCHEDULE, I ALWAYS   
   process mail for a flavour of HOLD for ALL nodes first... THEN I use the   
   CHANGE verb to set the final FLAVOUR I need for each resultant output file.   
      
   So try ordering your file as follows -   
      
      1. First, all "SEND HOLD ..." statements.   
      2. Then, all "ROUTE HOLD ddd xxx yyy zzz ..." statements.   
      3. Replace your "SEND WORD" entry, (that is really stuffing    
         everything up), and replace it with "ROUTE HOLD WORLD ...".    
         This line is your catchall.   
      5. Lastly, use "CHANGE ..." lines to send things using the    
         FLAVOUR you want.    
      
   Here is a sample schedule that I used some time ago. I use the DEFINE   
   statement to group nodes, its like a macro expansion -   
   ===================================================   
      
           SEND    HOLD    NOARC   NOCOMPS   
           SEND    HOLD            MYBOARDS FAKENET 4DPOINTS   
           SEND    HOLD            IPNODES   
           ROUTE   HOLD            Z3CR   
           ROUTE   HOLD            3:772/100 N772C   
           ROUTE   HOLD            3:772/1.10 3:30185/10   
           ROUTE   HOLD            BBBOARDS   
           ROUTE   HOLD            NWSTAR   
          This catches all unsent traffic.   
           CHANGE  NORMAL HOLD     All   
          Lastly CHANGE things to whatever you want.   
      
   ====================================================   
   The mail sending event just changes the flavour of the packets.   
      
   So the bottm line is to ensure the ORDER of events is logical and correct, you   
   MUST not mix flavours WITHIN the same schedule. Process to ONE flavour   
   (preferably HOLD), then CHANGE the resultant to whatever you want.   
      
   Cheers..........pk.
