No TIC processor needs to be compatible with Synchronet's message bases. With 
Allfix, HTick, and any others out there, you can set your announcement to 
announce to a text file, then use smbutil to post the message containing the 
contents of that text file, and using the addfiles utility to make sure the 
files get uploaded to the BBS filebases.

I use HTick with Synchronet here, and all works wonderfully.

If you ever feel the urge to give it a shot, I would gladly help you set it 
up, and share whatever configuration options I have in order to make it work 
smoothly alongside Synchronet with you.

As for any new feature requests towards Rob at the moment, I have a feeling 
they won't be acknowledged at the current time as he's busting ass on trying 
to get a new Win32 installer with the current stable Synchronet code, so there 
won't be a need to upgrade 3-4 times in order to get to the current state of 
things.

 NB>> Hope that helps!

 BM> Sure did.. thanks so much.

Of course! Your very welcome. :)

Regards,
Nick
