   Well, that's a relief and I'm really really pleased for you.   
      
   I'm assuming that the .tic files were deleted?   
      
    AA> How did it go with your Linux versions?   
      
   Same as it always goes, it didn't work :(   
      
   TIC processing has been broken in the Linux version for a very long time.     
   I don't know exactly when it broke or the circumstances under which it     
   broke but it's a completely different scenario to the one which you've     
   experienced. One day, I might just get around to trying to figure it out     
   but AFAIC personally, it's of low priority.
