I am no expert on this but many years ago I talked        > to the Allfix developer about this.              Found the TIC spec in doc FTS-5006.001 which states :               Replaces               This specifies that the file replaces one or more files that        were sent previously. It is up to the receiving system if it        honours this keyword.        The wildcard characters '?' and '*' may be used with the usual        meaning as in MS-DOS.        Some tic processors do not support wild cards and use of        wild cards with this keyword may cause unexpected results.                     With the proviso of unexpected results which I assume means that if you use        *.*       it will scrap the lot so any s/w must check that such a first '*' is not less       than the 5 chars etc.              So the question is what does mbse do and more importantly in what program ?                            Vincent              --- Mageia Linux v8 X64/Mbse v1.0.8.3/GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: Air Applewood, The Linux Gateway to the UK & Eire (2:250/1)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 10/0 1 15/0 18/0 200 25/0 90/1 102/401 103/1 705       SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 123/0 10 25 131 180 200 755 3001 129/305 135/115       SEEN-BY: 135/300 153/7715 154/10 30 40 50 700 214/22 218/0 1 215 700       SEEN-BY: 218/720 840 860 880 220/90 221/6 222/2 226/18 30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 227/201 229/110 112 113 206 307 317 400 426 428 452 470 550       SEEN-BY: 229/664 700 240/1120 250/0 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 11 12 13 14 263/0       SEEN-BY: 266/512 275/1000 280/464 282/1038 291/111 292/854 299/6 301/1       SEEN-BY: 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45 460/58 467/4 633/280       SEEN-BY: 712/848 1321 2320/105 3634/0 12 27 57 119 5020/400 1042 5075/35       PATH: 250/1 3634/12 154/10 301/1 218/700 229/426           |
