In this case I'm not really sure. I think the node in question has a number of
OSs that he uses but IINM linux or respbian is the target we want to reach.

We have been looking at running htick in that environment as well. I'm not
certain if that's doable but I think it probably is.
We are working here with Mystic BBS. Mystic does import files with tics and
send them on to your links if so configured. In this case though we need to
hatch files into his network so we want to do that as simply as possible.
Mystic's file area config (in recent versions) has hatch settings but it hasn't
been implemented yet so we just need a way to hatch files until mystic can do
this on it's own.
I think Tony has done this now with a script although we need to add a valid
Crc line to the tic. Mystic itself will toss tics without a crc line but I
think a validity check is good to have.

Although I had the file all the time google helped me identify the file I
needed to look at.. :)
