    OK,

    I now have an echo called Filefix_file.

    The messages have file names in them.

    How do I get the files?

    Hello Alan,

    I now have an echo called Filefix_file.

    I don't have and have never seen such an area. I don't know how to explain that.

    The messages have file names in them.

    Some tic processors will send you a netmail message along with a tic and the associated files. Do you have those files in your inbound perhaps?

    How do I get the files?

    Once you have connected to a file area you will receive all the files that are hatched in the area. Not files that have been sent in the area before you connected but all newly hatched files.

    The files will arrive along with a tic, a control file to tell your processor what area the file belongs to so it knows what (if anything) to do with the file. Import it into a file area and send it to linked nodes, if any.

    Ttyl :-),
    Al
