I saw that - I am tryong to catch up from the last few years of "off-the-net". 
What a shame, I always like Bob, we spoke a few times on the phone a few years 
ago before I dropped out of sight.

Using htick on Linux so if Allfix fails me, I may use TinyTic, which used to be 
a PITA to setup as you pointed out or htick.

NO worries, your words are very useful. Thank you.

I am trying to get this 'thang' running & so far so good. I just have to start 
writing batch files to automate everything. I installed binkd to move files 
between my node & points since my node is a barebones vps.

Next week I will be home for R&R and will move the system off my laptop onto 
the ESXi, stand it up, & pray for visitors.  I think we all have had enough 
rain this year...
