Patch for serv.exe -- FBB ver 5.15c ***** Change Msg header from FBB to W0RLI format ***** Whit program like PC Tools or Disk Editor by Norton you must change the data like follow, remember this is valid ONLY for English version: OLD NEW Address Z 5A z 7A 2d17c @ 40 % 25 2d17e : 3A % 25 2d17f % 25 N 4E 2d180 % 25 @ 40 2d181 R 52 % 25 2d182 20 % 25 2d183 # 23 R 52 2d184 : 3A % 25 2d185 % 25 s 73 2d186 % 25 00 2d187 N 4E 00 2d188 % 25 00 2d189 s 73 00 2d18a On INIT.SRV file, directory \FBB, you must remove the header line but leave only a return like follow: ############################################################################## # New in 5.15b: # R:line has been changed in the software. #[$c] $$:$R ############################################################################## The result is : Old header: R:941031/0615Z @:I5SGG.ITA.EURO #:63849 New header (4 byte less from previous format): R:941031/1220z 63977@I5SGG.ITA.EURO With this change you can help the packet network, because you reduce your overlay for single Msg (up to -50% less). I hope that all MailBox software authores will use this header in the future version. Remeber also to reduce, as you can, your Hierarchical address. Many thanks for your cooperation ! ...
