    Cool, I was kinda wondering what it looked like... ;-)  Since I got
everything moved over to winserver, I had kinda wondered on a few places
if it was coming out right or what... Didn't get any complaints, so I
figured must have something semi-right.  I'm hoping to get my AUP
re-enabled and upgrade to the latest v7.

I really wished they'd release an update to PXW!  There's a few things
I've got working flakey... I just appeared to get my tic files working.
I don't know enough on the tic format to know if the problem lies on my
uplink's processor, a configuration, or pxw's import.  It really don't
matter though, because I've used TICK (the original program) and had no
issues with marc's system before, nor did I have problems with robert's
system.  Now, most of Robert's tic files auto-import fine, while marc's
act like they don't even exist... No errors, no messages, just acts like
there are no files in the tic directory!  I just wrote a small pascal
program that does a few things.  It looks for a line that says "Seenby
1:396/60" and if its there, it basically deletes that line.  It also
looks for the password line (Pw password), if it finds it, it changes
the password to upper case just in case (why oh why my uplinks all use
lowercase and pxconfig only allows uppercase!)  Last, it renames the
.tic file to all lower case.  Don't ask why, but these are the only
differences I can find in robert and marc's tic files...   I have a few
other minor issues... When compiling the nodelist on windows/xp, it
crashes with a divide by zero at the end, on windows 8, it can compile
all the way without errors... Don't know...
