  No... it's the files system I've got working. TIC is still a bit of
a mess, but it's just a matter of tidying up. I wanted to see how
quickly I could do the files and it's a bit disappointing so far. I
write a 50K FILES list in 3 seconds. I was hoping to do it on one,
so I'll change the way I read the DAT file.

  It's a pity you're so kinky for files.bbs. How about I just call my
list files.bbs?

Bob
