   Hey mark!   
      
    ml> think of a PKT as a bag of postal mail   
      
   I am assuming that something like origAddr -> destAddr might be something   
   useful.  In awkSpeak it could look like the below:   
      
   Type 2:   
   awk -F, '{printf("%d:%d/%d -> %d:%d/%d", $16, $11, $1, $17, $12, $2)}'   
      
   Type 2+:   
   awk -F, '{printf("%d:%d/%d.%d -> %d:%d/%d.%d", $16, $11, $1, $25, $17, $12,   
   $2, $26)}'   
      
   Type 2.2:   
   awk -F, '{printf("%d:%d/%d.%d -> %d:%d/%d.%d", $13, $8, $1, $3, $14, $9, $2,   
   $4)}'   
      
   I added the above to the current pkttool and it produced the following;   
      
   -------------- ye olde cut `n paste starts   
   fidonet@mikey [ ~/testing ]$ ./pkttool 5754c356.pkt   
   5754c356.pkt: Type 2.2 pkt header   
   1:153/7001.0 -> 1:153/7715.0   
   fidonet@mikey [ ~/testing ]$ ./pkttool 5722a447.pkt   
   5722a447.pkt: Type 2+ pkt header   
   1:153/7715.0 -> 1:153/7001.0   
   -------------- ye olde cut `n paste ends   
      
   Note the above includes both a types 2+ and 2.2, where the 2.2 originated at   
   this node.  Since both of them have something to do with Little Mikey's Brain   
   I can speak favourably as to the accuracy of the above information.   
      
   What would be handy to have is a type 2 pkt for checking.  I may have to do   
   something about that if it matters any.  Does it?   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice   
      
   ... Don't cry for me I have vi.
