   But it's so darned useful.  Even if you can get it into   
   comma delimited you can then get it into a database manager, and thence to   
   about anything else.   
      
   since then, no doubt over a year ago I've pretty much   
   stabilized what I'm doing with all that stuff.  Since then   
   I've rolled a pretty good little routine for checking out   
   *.tic files that nef choked on for whatever reason and   
   telling me more about them.  I know these days you're using   
   your tic file processor written in batch.  I still have   
   other links though, and coordinate a small fdn so I'm still   
   using a full blown tic processor.   
      
   My latest project is some msg area analysis stuff.  I'll   
   drop in in a couple weeks if you're interested and give you   
   a look see at some of it.   
   Hmmm, for that matter might be back with some questions for   
   the gurus around here.   
      
   Btw did you ever get that routine you were working on for   
   busting email digests to post as fido msgs working the way   
   you wanted?   
      
   Regards,
