yeah, especially why the Z1 (and others derived from it) version doesn't show
ward's binkp capability...

5.7. System Online Flags
------------------------

  The flag Tyz is used by non-CM nodes online not only during ZMH, y
  is a letter indicating the start and z a letter indicating the end
  of the online period as defined below (times in UTC):

    A  0:00,  a  0:30,   B  1:00,  b  1:30,   C  2:00,  c  2:30,
    D  3:00,  d  3:30,   E  4:00,  e  4:30,   F  5:00,  f  5:30,
    G  6:00,  g  6:30,   H  7:00,  h  7:30,   I  8:00,  i  8:30,
    J  9:00,  j  9:30,   K 10:00,  k 10:30,   L 11:00,  l 11:30,
    M 12:00,  m 12:30,   N 13:00,  n 13:30,   O 14:00,  o 14:30,
    P 15:00,  p 15:30,   Q 16:00,  q 16:30,   R 17:00,  r 17:30,
    S 18:00,  s 18:30,   T 19:00,  t 19:30,   U 20:00,  u 20:30,
    V 21:00,  v 21:30,   W 22:00,  w 22:30,   X 23:00,  x 23:30.

  For example TuB shows an online period from 20:30 until 1:00 UTC.


  Daylight saving time
  --------------------

  If a node changes online times with respect to UTC when daylight
  saving time becomes effective (which would be the case with most
  part time nodes), then this is to be taken into account when
  assigning this flag. An online times flag assigned to a node should
  not be altered for the specific purpose of adjusting due to daylight
  saving time, since large difference files (NODEDIFF's) would result
  if every node was allowed to do this, e.g. my node used to be online
  from 2300 to 0800 in local time, which in winter is UTC, but in the
  summer it becomes BST (British Summer Time). This is one hour ahead
  of UTC, and the corresponding availability times of my node during
  the summer period were 2200 to 0700 UTC. Therefore my online times
  flag would have indicated availability between the hours of 2300 and
  0700 UTC, the daily time period encompassing both times, so the flag
  would be TXH.

AND there is a specific notation that in revision 2 of this standard, it was
fixed (finally after numerous years) showing that the system online flags are
flags and not user flags...

   Rev.2, 20040904: re-re-draft by FTSC.
[TRIM]
                    - Fixed Txy flag status (user flag -> normal flag)
[TRIM]


i won't even mention that it is 5.5 years behind its review date :rolleyes:
