[OZAPRS] WIDE1-1 (was: European v USnewparadigmand pathlimiting+confusion....)

[Dion Bramich]

Thats what its for, it replaces the old RELAY, but allows dupe checking on

fill-ins.  The old RELAY bizzo was dumb, and potentially caused dupes.   
When all we are using is SSn-N and WIDEn-N, then all confusion associated

with WIDE, TRACE, RELAY is all gone.
