aren't you hatching the files to her and others for redistribution? if so,
shouldn't your system already be using the REPLACE verb? her system should
just copy it over as normal... the initial hatch is where the REPLACE
should originate because from there, everything is just copied from one TIC
to another adding the path and seenby lines and changing the few others
that need changing for each connected system...

 RJ> just check

you can allow or deny replace with client allfix setups... the originator
still needs to put in the original REPLACE verb... it is /the/ signal that
the new file being processed should replace the old one(s) named...
