aren't you hatching the files to her and others for redistribution? if so,
shouldn't your system already be using the REPLACE verb? her system should just
copy it over as normal... the initial hatch is where the REPLACE should
originate because from there, everything is just copied from one TIC to another
adding the path and seenby lines and changing the few others that need changing
for each connected system...

RJ> just check

you can allow or deny replace with client allfix setups... the originator still
needs to put in the original REPLACE verb... it is /the/ signal that the new
file being processed should replace the old one(s) named...
