Hello!

- fileearea "-rename" switch to rename files in case of duplicate names
  in the fileecho
  "-noRename" to disable renaming (default)
- new incoming file is renamed to
  file..more.ext for long filenames
  file.<1st char of extnumber> for DOS style filenames
   is  01 - 99
- examples:
  file.zip -> file.z01
  long-name.tar.gz -> long-name.01.tar.gz
- linked nodes will get files with the original name in any case

   int nodiz;          /*  1 - do not try to get description from

Run "make clean", "make", "make install" and
recompile & update any husky programm linked to libfidoconf including
libareafix.


In file htick/h/global.h in "struct ticfiletype" insert after

And just below that change

into:

About 40 lines below that replace
<   if (filearea->sendorig) {
with:
>   if (filearea->sendorig || tic->altfile) {

Another 20 lines below change

<       strcat(descr_file_name, config->fileDescription);
