 FV>> How many subfields?

 ml>> there is no count given... the only restrictions placed
 ml>> on the content of field 8 have to do with the length of
 ml>> the Uflags (that they cannot be more than 32 characters
 ml>> in total) and that the UFlags are last in the line...

 FV> <hint: Read carefully>

 FV> So, you're telling me that a nodelisting of:

 FV> ,6308,Collin_County_Station,Mc
 FV> Kinney_TX,Frank_Vest,1-972-562-8064,33600
 FV> ,CM,XI,V34,V42b,I:web-idiot.d2g.com

 FV> Would be ok??

on the surface, yes... the format is correct... only two items i see a 
"problem" with...

 1. there is no XI flag
 2. there is no I flag

it may be possible that you could "hide" them behind a U flag indicator like 
so...

     ,6308,Collin_County_Station,Mc
     Kinney_TX,Frank_Vest,1-972-562-8064,33600
     ,CM,V34,V42b,U,XI,I:web-idiot.d2g.com
                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
getting these past your upstream is one thing... having them indicate and 
perform the job you desire is another... having other systems recognise them is 
a third...


where are you going with this?
