I have tick210.arj available here if you want it.

I don't understand why SEAL should write to that file at all.  Have you
tried setting it to readonly?  I still use 0.40 here because I kept seeing
where people were having problems with 0.50,  so I decided not to mess with
it.

I never could understand why it needed to mess with my squish.cfg file
either. I have a bunch of stuff that I typed in there in mixed case,  and
it went and changed all of it to all caps.  I got rather annoyed about
this,  posted a message about it once,  and got a rather snippy reply from
the author.  Note that I don't have SEAL doing _anything_ to my squish.cfg
for the most part.

You might want to try 0.40 instead,  it seems a bit more stable.  It also
wasn't bothered by me setting squish.cfg to readonly when I didn't want it
to do that.  I have seal_040.arj available here if you want it,  too,  as
well as 0.50...
