   I tend to be a bit more open ended, though it seems the CRC32 issue has been   
   resolved to meet our needs. :)   
      
    AI> I think so. We have the stuff we need.   
      
   For now. :D  I'm in the testing phase, I have successfully hatched a file on my   
   own net, and will be testing on another FTN, once the details have been sorted   
   out with the coordinator of that net.

   Yes, I've rewritten my script to be as generic as possible - it takes a number   
   of environment variables and hatches the file.  I think it should work with any   
   TIC processor that can process incoming files and forward them on to downlinks.   
    Once it's in the wild, people can try it out. :)  It does, however, require a   
   system with the BASH shell.. :-)   
      
    AI> Thanks ago for your help.. :)   
      
   Likewise, thanks to all involved - Alan, Maurice, etc. :)
