Thanks, read that. Thats where I got the initial test I did of -pP

No, that is not documented that it HAS TO BE SPACED OUT as ABSOLUTE 
REQUIREMENT. It may mean that to you, it doesn't to me, nor any other Linux 
program I've used... options can be shoved together. Shove them all together is 
pretty much bog standard procedure for any *Nix/BSD I've used.

lots of programs list their options... take for example screen

screen [ -options ] [ cmd [ args ] ]

You can do:

screen -m -d -S or you can -mdS and pretty much any other program that takes 
options can do the same, pretty bog standard *nix type way of doing things.

Never had a program specifically need to S P A C E things out, and that man 
page doesn't mean that. When I read it thats binkd -options config file.

Additionally, since I got the option for -nP from this group,

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

 binkd -nP46:1/100 binkd.cfg."

Msg from 3/4/16.

 and tried it and it worked fine... and it was most definitely not spaced out. 
You see I test things copiously before doing, ie: measure, measure, measure, 
cut.


binkd [-CcDipqrsvdmh] [ -P node ] config-file

That line doesn't mean CAN'T SHOVE THEM ALL TOGETHER... When any other Linux 
program I've used will gladly take them -alloptions or -a -b -cdeg -gf
