    Hello Janis!

    The first files in the new echo flashmar is missing some file_id.diz in the files and then got the to be no tic files for them in my system inbound.

    Hi Gert!

    The first files in the new echo flashmar is missing some file_id.diz in the files and then got the to be no tic files for them in my system inbound.

    How could the file_id.diz being there or not have to do with whether your system creates new .tic files? Doesn't make sense, Gert. Unless you are saying the archives arrived with no .tic file... that's a different problem :)

    Your tic processor should accept either a file_id.diz file in the archive, or a
    description generated when the file is hatched with the hatch command.

    Often, I do not include a file_id.diz file in an archive either if the file I receive is an original archive. I only create a diz file if I'm archiving a windows binary or linux tar.gz type file.

    Btw, the files here had a description:

    EVERYD.ZIP 140204 1k 0 Everyday
    ITD.ZIP 140204 1k 0 Into the darkness

    I've checked the tics for those still to pick up their files, and this description is in the tic as well.

    These are just levels for the game, no further description is necessary as far as I understand it.

    Take care,
    Janis

    Then have the tics been deleted at my system when my tic processor then tried to create the new fileecho and it made it bad so I later had to manually change
    the setup and the files only were in my inbound and no tics for them.
    I hatched the files but dosn't got the description for the files just to make them got right to my ftp /new/flashmar directory with a files.bbs file.

    Ok.

    Yes and now have I put the description in for them on one system and their files.bbs file.
