That is exactly what I expected it to be. Just couldn't get any evidence of
that from the included html help, or from one of the pages. 
Although I wondered about it, other options are set there to make you type
less, and now the 1D is added. 
Can I go along with the old files, without the 1D? or/and where do I put the
$TTL directive that was mentioned.

At least now a search for 1D in the mailing list brings this up :)
