Dear Piers. please save myself and other sysops a lot of trouble by
explaining by example how we do this. The values shown by your automatically
generated table do not equate to values present in my commandsfile and I
am unwilling to stir the entrails without a better understanding of whats
required.

Take
	bunyip<->qdpii as an instance.

you state:

unequal link costs:
        bunyip.cc.uq.oz.au to qdpii.comp.qdpi.oz.au => 0
        qdpii.comp.qdpi.oz.au to bunyip.cc.uq.oz.au => 1

I have this in commandsfile:

delay           bunyip.D=cc.O=uq.oz.au,
                        N=stallion.D=sw.O=stallion.oz.au        86400
delay           N=stallion.D=sw.O=stallion.oz.au,
                        bunyip.D=cc.O=uq.oz.au          86400


Now tell me what I should have.
