my reply not crossposted...

hopefully those guys are fixing the problem...

 TK> Allfix thinks that the .TIC file ends there and skips the

as it should...

 TK> Since Allfix is dead, maybe this would be fixed in HTick?

htick is wrong for this and should not be putting ^Z characters in the
middle of the file... TIC files are text, not binary, thus EOF should not
appear in them until the end IF they appear at all...

however, i may have a "quickfix" for you...
