tic files tells the tic processor how to deal with the associated file.
It'll contain details such as which area the file belongs to, the file
name, the source, the password, if there is one set, whether the new
file replaces the old one, a crc32 checksum, and various other bits of
information.

Without the tic file, your system wouldn't know what to do with the
file it accompanies.
