People who have seen me post on this list before might be sad if I did 
not promote the jnos wiki at http://jnoswiki.no-ip.org to address the 
issues you face using  jnos.  I hope you will try it out.  Especially 
try the "search text" function for words like "encap" and "route" to see 
how many references are made to these subjects.

The encap file is usable as transmitted in distribution files while you 
get started.  But it undergoes change to keep pace with changes to 
AMPRnet.  I don't know the best source for yourself to get a fresh copy 
installed say each week or month -- a year is too long to wait.  Finding 
the most appropriate copy for yourself may involve activities local to 
you as we do here in Michigan, USA, because of our subnet desire to make 
"sorta frequent" changes associated with dynamic IPs.

The route.rc file is your personal local route configuration [including 
adjustments to encap].  It takes local knowledge to design this 
content.  The wiki should help with syntax, and I believe it has a 
couple example files for you to inspect.  The file will be only yours 
when you are done.  With some care, route.rc can be designed so that 
encap.txt only needs to be replaced [without editing] when you get it 
from your trusted source  - that makes update maintenance pretty easy.
