Subj: FD last caller                 Conf: (2) Quik_Bas
After I entered that last message I found a little more
information. It is the Marker1 and Marker2, they are the
lengths of the System and City in the file.


TYPE FD
   FromMarker1 AS STRING * 1  'this is the length of FromSystem (30)
   FromSystem AS STRING * 30
   FromMarker2 AS STRING * 1  ' this is the length of FromCity (40)
   FromCity AS STRING * 40
   FromZone AS INTEGER
   FromNet AS INTEGER
   FromNode AS INTEGER
   FromPoint AS INTEGER
   FromIDontKnow1 AS INTEGER
   FromIDontKnow2 AS INTEGER

   ToMarker1 AS STRING * 1    ' this is the length of ToSystem (30)
   ToSystem AS STRING * 30
   ToMarker2 AS STRING * 1    ' this is the length of ToCity (40)
   ToCity AS STRING * 40
   ToZone AS INTEGER
   ToNet AS INTEGER
   ToNode AS INTEGER
   ToPoint AS INTEGER
   ToIDontKnow1 AS INTEGER
   ToIDontKnow2 AS INTEGER

   RestIHaveNoIdea AS STRING * 84

END TYPE

I'm not sure on the whole thing works with FD. But it works
for me if I just set them to 30 and 40. Like LC.FromSystem
= CHR$(30) and LC.FromCity = CHR$(40).
