I have re-discovered a way around it if the files will be hatched more than
once by using the FILES hatch facility how ever that also uses a one liner so
the file needs to be an archive with FILE_ID.DIZ within.

This has forced me to issues the files FILEGATE.HDR and FILEGATE.ZXX within
there own archives with a .DIZ file.

OK, but I cannot handle one off's.

This could be a problem when filegate contributors send me files adhoc via a
email or just uploaded into the inbound directory for me to process.

Clearly it is best (for me at least) for them to connect to a Hub such as here
and upload it along with the .tic file but that assumes they have the
appropriate software on their system and are running at least a mailer or can
use anonymous ftp to get to my server.

It can get tricky :)

Clearly using automation is best for them and myself - being a bit of a lazy
git :)
