Then have the tics been deleted at my system when my tic processor then tried
to create the new fileecho and it made it bad so I later had to manually change
the setup and the files only were in my inbound and no tics for them.
I hatched the files but dosn't got the description for the files just to make
them got right to my ftp /new/flashmar directory with a files.bbs file.

Ok.

JK>Btw, the files here had a description:

JK> EVERYD.ZIP   140204    1k    0 Everyday
JK> ITD.ZIP      140204    1k    0 Into the darkness

Yes and now have I put the description in for them on one system and their
files.bbs file.

 Take care,
