Re: number of zones

["Alexander Knirsch" <knirsch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Mr. Kouba,

actually their is no real limitation about TYPE 56 and 100 or more zones. Till
now we have included only 25 because we like to "prevent user agains herselfs".
So, I can't really immagine dealing with 100 and more zones (I know it works).
We may change the TYPE 56 for a "special version" if it is extremely necessary.
To overcome the problem by yourselve is not possible because you don't have the
source code (Version 15).

kind regards

Alexander Knirsch
