No, they were in the .tic, and I was seeing the same problem that's been 
reported (all the TICs were thrown into bad, because ALLFIX stopped parsing 
after it hit the Ctrl-Z).  Research indicated the Ctrl-Z *originated* in the 
FILE_ID.DIZ which is, I assume, where HTick picked it up and inserted it into 
the TIC.
