   Hey mark!   
      
    ml> ahhh... yeah, that was written without any testing or   
    ml> consideration to the '.'...   
      
   Understood.  However it did raise the issue that if 5D addressing isn't taken   
   care of then the original posting will produce an origPoint as well as a   
   destPoint with the '@domainname' taked on at the end such as;   
      
     origPoint="0@fidonet"; destPoint="0@fidonet"   
      
   using your example.  To solve this I changed the split to;   
      
     read origZone origNet origNode origPoint <<< \   
       $(echo $origAddr | cut -f1 -d@ | tr ':/.' ' ')   
      
   and;   
      
     read destZone destNet destNode destPoint <<< \   
       $(echo $destAddr | cut -f1 -d@ | tr ':/.' ' ')   
      
   which produces the desired splits while retaining the 5D-ness of both the   
   complete origAddr and destAddr (ie 1:11/111.0@fidonet in your original   
   posting).  I currently cannot think of a need for either origDomain or   
   destDomain but have already come up with a way to extract it if and when it is   
   needed.  I have serious doubts that it is needed.   
      
   Life is good,
