   Hey Andrew,   
      
    VC>                 1.  Removed the requirement that incoming .TIC files have   
    VC>                 exactly 8 character filenames with the .TIC extension.    
      
   I've just noticed that I received some realy_long_filenames from an upstream,   
   and because I didnt have the file area defined - mbfido wanted to toss them   
   into the badtic dir, but couldnt because it had truncated the filename to the   
   first 12 chars.   
      
   ? 02-Oct-2018 00:38:30 mbfido[6490] Failed to move   
   /opt/mbse/data/inbound/1-5_lxk1-en- to /opt/mbse/data/badtic/1-5_lxk1-en-: No   
   such file or directory   
      
   The filename was 1-5_lxk1-en-manual.tic   
      
   Issue seems to be around line 230 of mbfido/tic.c   
      
   strncpy(TIC.TicName, tfn, 12);   
      
   But there also seems to be other cases where strncpy is used to populate a   
   variable with only 12 chars... (line 376 and 498 - first one might be valid,   
   but not sure about the second one...   
      
   )
