         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
           <space> 20       % 25    2d183
                 # 23       R 52    2d184
                 : 3A       % 25    2d185
                 % 25       s 73    2d186
                 % 25   <NUL> 00    2d187
                 N 4E   <NUL> 00    2d188
                 % 25   <NUL> 00    2d189
                 s 73   <NUL> 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 !
