Hello Joacim,

So do it  ;-)

Convert 1 to hex  -->  0001
Convert 100 to hex --> 64

Name of the file 00010064.

The zone number is not in the name of the file, but in the name of the 
directory. Convert 46 to hex --> 2E

Name of directory  OUTBOUND.02E

You can do that manually, but you can also do it by typing:

 binkd -nP46:1/100 binkd.cfg.

That will create an empty file named 00010064.dlo in OUTBOUND.02E


Cheers, Michiel
