    TK>>> Since Allfix is dead, maybe this would be fixed in HTick?   
      
   Allfix may be many things, but Dead is not one of them. Bob Seaborn owns it   
   and has promised that he will release a new version, he just does not know   
   when yet.

    TK> Yes, because it thinks that the TIC ends to the last LDesc line.   
      
   Which acording to the O/S, it does. DOS, Windows, and OS/2 all use char   
   ASCII#26 (^Z) as the End of File mark. HTick is the issue here. Tell whoever   
   is sending you those TICs to stop sending LDESC lines with a ^Z in them. Not   
   much Allfix can do if there's a stray EOF mark. I suppose I could whip   
   together a quick program that will read in a TIC and write it back out w/o the   
   Ctrl-Z if you want. Cannot gaurentee it would work but it's worth a shot.
