If you should happen to drop in on this echo area...  :)

I use a program called AllFix to do a job that I believe FileScan will (I was
told it would accomplish the TIC file processing ???) do.....

I got netmail from Ferdinand (a couple of days ago) and he just returned from a
jaunt to Russia.  I'll have to answer him and put a "bug in his ear" about
updating the German version documentation so his good team of volunteers can
complete the English translation!  :-))

Well, this will be a start.....

Not a very good point when none of those ten words can be found anywhere within
the FileScan text files.....  :-((

I presume that you are going to forward the translated file to Ferdinand so
that he will include it in his next "English" release?
