Hi Jeff,

What I find very strange here is the file name.

http://ftsc.org/docs/fts-5006.001 has this to say about the file name in
paragraph 2.2:

   A TIC file is a text file with a name in 8.3 DOS format with the
   extension .TIC. The name of the TIC file should be unique enough
   to ensure that systems receiving TIC files never have two TIC
   files with the same name in their inbound. How this is done is
   left to the implementation.

So every tic processor I know of, generates some random (kind of) file name for
 every .tic file it generates. I have never seen a .tic file with such an
explicit name. So someone must be doing it wrong!

Btw: This has probably nothing to do with the problem you are seeing!


Bye, Wilfred.
