subject: got standards if you want

PE> No, send in multiple TIC files.  It isn't necessary to call 
PE> them point_num.TIC, I just like to have that as a standard.  
PE> Choose a high random number for your subsequent TIC files.  
PE> BFN.  Paul.

 FM> That's the trouble with these "standards", you never know

 FM> xxxxxxxx in xxxxxxxx.REQ must be exactly the right thing 
 FM> but xxxxxxxx.TIC can be anything you like,
 FM> although both look as if they're like that for a reason.

.REQs are interpreted at your end, so BINK (or whatever) knows where to
send the request... If you could tell it some other way, then the xxxxxxxx
could be anything...
