Well well, here's the story:

First time I downloaded, I used TIC with auto-unpacking on.  Don't remember
what version; I really ought to send my disk in for an update...anyway, at
the end of unpacking the first file (moria) during the download, I got a
checksum error.  Then, when I unsqueezed the file with BLU, I got the same
error, with the results I mentioned in the last letter when I tried to run
the program.

Last night, I did it again, this time with auto-unpacking off.  The file
transferred with no problems at all, unpacked the same, and works great.  I
used Shrinkit to squish the files up more than I could with BLU, and will
send it to Apple2-l as soon as somebody tells me how to segment a 358k file
into pieces small enough for executioner.

This does bring up the problem with TIC, though...maybe it's fixed by now.

Another problem I have with TIC is that when I first got it, I started using
it on a volume called /COMM in the directory /TALK.IS.CHEAP.  Since I've got
a hard disk now, I use it in /APPLICATIONS/COMM, and it won't run the .startup
file, or read the tic.key.files.  It searches all drives looking for the old
directory, I think...

If anybody can answer any of the questions here, I'd be grateful;  and I'd be
able to get Moria off to the rest of you.

Bill Dickson.
