Allfix may be many things, but Dead is not one of them. Bob Seaborn owns it
and has promised that he will release a new version, he just does not know
when yet.

Which acording to the O/S, it does. DOS, Windows, and OS/2 all use char
ASCII#26 (^Z) as the End of File mark. HTick is the issue here. Tell whoever
is sending you those TICs to stop sending LDESC lines with a ^Z in them. Not
much Allfix can do if there's a stray EOF mark. I suppose I could whip
together a quick program that will read in a TIC and write it back out w/o the
Ctrl-Z if you want. Cannot gaurentee it would work but it's worth a shot.
