   Hey mark!   
      
    ml> the first thing i saw when i looked over it with the 5D address   
    ml> format   
      
   I think I found a suitable fix for it now.  I posted it in a reply to Alan   
   earlier today and will leave it alone for now.  So far that is the best I can   
   come up with that works with all forms of fidonet addressing I have ever seen.   
      
    ml> it was based on your example just in the full 5D format   
      
   Yes.  Also I checked out the possibility of inclusion of the '.' character in   
   domain names (eg fidonet.org) and that now works without causing any grief.    
   As of this writing it isn't dumped into a variable such as origDomain but it   
   easily could be if there is a need.  I am not convinced there is a need but it   
   is doable.   
      
    ml> may need this capability if they are in multiple FTN networks   
      
   Understood.  Should be doable now despite the fact the solution hasn't been   
   posted ... yet.  Off the top of my head this should work;   
      
     origDomain=$(echo $origAddr | cut -f2 -d@)   
      
   but there probably is a better way not unlike the last fix posted for Zone,   
   Net, Node and Point.   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
