Thanks so much for the info.  At this time I have no plans on
"hatching" but
one never knows. I've looked at Allfix and being I run Synchronet here, tinytic
is the way to go for me as a tic processor as it seems that's the only one that
is compatable with the message base.  I even asked Rob if he had plans on
interfacing a tic/filefind echo response module and although he said it was an
interesting idea, it wasn't in the plans as of now.

Sure did.. thanks so much.
