The origin of this restriction in Squish comes down to the Fidonet packet 
formats, as the Zone field in some parts of Fidonet is only 1 byte, so it can 
only be 0 - 255. To handle a zone above 255 you would need all the data 
storage/handling formats to change as well, and that would depend heavily on 
the software that you used.

One way you may be able to get Squish to work is to see if it can be made Zone 
agnostic, IE see if you can get it to ignore Zones completely, but then you 
would need to manage the Zone issue externally.

Cheers............pk.
