 KH> "FTSC Product Codes", http://ftsc.org/docs/fta-1005.003, says:

i think he's talking about the product code inside the PKTs created to carry 
the packed messages... depending on which PKT type is being constructed, the 
code may be different? type 2(.0) and 2.2 both have one byte for the product 
code but 2+ has two (non-consecutive) bytes allocated for the product code...

 KH> Can you give me an url to a newer spec saying 0x01ff?

http://ftsc.org/docs/ftscprod.017 shows two codes for BBBS...

0110,BBBS,MSDOS/OS2/NT/Amiga/Unix,Mailer/Packer,Kim_Heino,2:22/222,19980216
01FF,BBBS,MSDOS/OS2/NT/Amiga/Unix,Mailer/Packer,Kim_Heino,2:22/222,19980216

plus there are these... the first two don't apply to BBBS but the 3rd one fits 
with the 2nd of the above two...

00FE,No_product_id_allocated,Any,Packer,No_Author,3:3/20
00FF,16-bit_product_id,Any,Packer/Mailer,No_Author,3:3/20
0100,Reserved,None,None,No_Author,3:3/20,19951209
