No I don't. It was the last version that hadn't been touched in years before
someone else picked it up.

Oddly enough, most of the Tinytic auto-posts in the file announcement echos are
still using it. I don't think I've seen a v0.7 being used yet. It would be nice
to see if that fixed the issue, although I don't remember it ever actually
being "fixed." It was definitely "addressed" though,
but it was still quirky.

Ah okay. Well at least someone is doing something, rather than letting the code
rot somewhere.

I'm currently working on another full blown system in a VM that will eventually
become a node in every network I'm involved with. When that happens (if the
developer hasn't included a file/tic processor yet), I'll definitely take
another look at Tinytic and see if I can help out in any way.

Nick
