   Another week of s u s p e n c e !   
      
   BTW.. The pointdiff arrived a littler later, and processed fine (as it   
   always has), but this time I forgot to keep the .TIC processing enabled.   
      
   I am pretty sure that I have *always* had the tic proccessing enabled,   
   but the lockups were only happening with the main nodelist.
