   Hello Gert!

   You NEED to see what is being processed by htick however, I have NEVER heard    
   of   
   a problem in this arena.   
      
   I still say it is related to htick but alnother small point is that is htick    
   is   
   running under DOS or possibly Windows the actual file size could and no doubt   
   will be larger to match a cluster size which linux / OS-2 does not do.   
      
   Regardless the tick processor should NOT be using that size but the one   
   reported by the tic file along with the o/p from the crc check.   
      
   As I said I think it is an issue with htick using a poor API call to get the   
   file size and possibly along with the platform it is running on.
