for some reason this cridder ALWAYS grunges my tic.cfg file. not the
squish.cfg, not the route.ctl or route.cfg, nor anything else that it reads
to process messages. just the tic.cfg file. i don't know what it writes in
it, but what ever it is, is hi-ascii. right now i'm using Tick ver 2.0. it
still works fine. i'll bet it's not y2k compliant though. 

i know i havn't given enough info, just don't know what you want. just tell
me, and i'll dump into a text message. 

thanks
