Hi Mark,

I guess that could be because the file is 0 bytes.. Over here, my logs show
the 0 byte file goes out though.. Maybe in your case, when it goes out to
Ross from here, Htick doesn't like it.. not sure.  I'll check with Ross
though and see.

Thanks for the heads up.. it will be easy to stuff something in the file
just to make it non-0 byte.

As far as the exact filename, I replaced a file with a name like .r00 and
.r01 with .txt since I was thinking who wants a lonely .r00 etc. file
laying about.. that's silly I guess 

Take care,
Janis
