 JD>> Sadly, since switching to Windows 10, neither one will run.  Not in
 JD>> CMD nor in Command windows.

 MV> Which has go nothing to do with the issue at hand: the long line length
 MV> due to the presence of a literal IPv6 address.

 JD>> The Intermail compiler will also not run as a seperate entity, but
 JD>> will run in IMConfig for some strange reason.  The only reason I
 JD>> still do these things, is because of the IE editor which uses the
 JD>> nodelist, and which I still have to use at times.

 MV> All the above are 16 bit programs. The newer Windows version don't take
 MV> kindly to that. The path I have choosen is to get rid of the 16 bit stuff.

 JD>> I have never used binkp.net, so have no idea what it does.

 MV> It is a dns service that returns Ip adresses for node.net.zone.binkp.net.
 MV> I use 
 MV> it as the deafault to crash mail to nodes that are not in my binkd.cfg.

i'm using the binkd.txt that is updated weekly.


 JD>> I was thinking of purchasing another Domain Name, if it is possible
 JD>> to tie it directly to my system here.  I do not know how to set up a
 JD>> AAAA record, and even where my delahaye.ca is registered has no
 JD>> plans for IPv6 I just found out.

 MV> Then get rid of them. A DNS provider that does not support IPv6 yet,
 MV> deserves to go bankrupt tomorrow. I have some of my domains registered
 MV> with eurodns.com amd some others with transip.nl. They both have excellent
 MV> IPv6 support. Setting 
 MV> up an AAAA record with them is easy, just follow the steps on their
 MV> website. Nothing stops you from dealing with them if there is no such
 MV> service available in NA.

It was a case of my original DNS provider being sold to unfortunately an
American entity.  I may lookin into transferring if that is possible.


 JD>> As well, I wonder if it is even possible, because I am usin windows
 JD>> 10 Home edition, and apperently it will not take domain names. :(

 MV> Your OS has nothing to to with it. It is the DNS system that does the
 MV> translation from symbolic host names to IP addresse.

There is a part in the networking setup that has space for a Domain.  That is
what I was referring to.  I am finding the networking in 10 very difficult
comparted to windows 7.  Permissions are weird, and even though I h ave set it
up to use the internal networking with no password, one is still needed.
