    Depends on what you want the program to do. TinyTic will process incoming tic/files and put them in the correct directory and will also announce. It will not reply to a query in FileFind.

    right now I'm working with Allfix and htick to see it I can fudge them enough to work for what I want.

    On a sidenote, you can always ask DM to put an internal tic processor in Synch.. ;)

    Then I am assuming Allfix will create it's own pkt during a filefind query if found. Question is, for the FILEFIND area do you need to set it up to read incoming pkt's rather than a SQUISH or JAM msg base being we're using Synch? Right now I've been working with copying incoming pkts to a dummy directory and allowing Allfix to read the incoming pkts. I am seeing it just wants to create a compressed outgoing file rather than just a pkt to my outbound directory. Is that an issue? Can I just send non-compressed? I am also assuming if it creates a reply, the path and seenby will have my main address therefore not be imported into Synch's msg base unless I setup Allfix as a point. Correct?

    I'm trying my best over here and I didn't want to disturb you with trivial stuff.

    Thanks!!

    You could try FileMgr which is supplied as binary with sources.
    Note it only runs in a Dos box (Windows or Linux).

    I thought you were referring to the (aborted) attemp by Harald, the original AllFix author, to incorporate message echo management into AllFix some
    years ago, well before I acquired ownership of the code.

    Sorry, I've never played with the filefind part.

    Allfix / FILEFIND can read JAM base, and write replies to JAM base or .PKT. You
    can tell it what to do. Here's one of mine:

    | Comment filefind int |#

    Thanks Tommi...

    What I may have to do is setup a small JAM message base just for FILEFILE, tell allfix to scan that area and then either post a message back to that area, toss it or create a pkt.

    I'm getting closer.. :)
