   Hello Vince!   
      
   21 Sep 18 15:44, you wrote to all:

   You won't notice anything unless a Mystic node sends you .TIC files.  Mystic    
   by default names .TIC files with the same name as the archive they relate to.     
   ie: the .TIC file for fsxinfo.zip would be fsxinfo.tic.   
      
   This causes problems with MBSE versions before 1.0.7.9, because MBSE expects    
   that all .TIC files will be named with 8 character filenames followed by .TIC.    
   The example above is only 7 characters, so it wouldn't be processed    
   automatically.  The same applies to long filenames (longer than 8 characters.)   
      
   The changes in 1.0.7.9 will handle .TIC files with filenames of 1 character up    
   to the maximum the OS supports.
