   Another thing to consider here is that in Unix systems filenames are case   
   sensitive.  So for example:   
      
    AS> + Jan 09 09:25:37 File MyGUI v1.0.2.26.zip Area FSX_MUTL From 21:1/100   
      
   If your .TIC has "MyGUI v1.0.2" as the filename but the actual file is "mygui   
   v1.0.2" in lower case, then those are not the same files in Unix.  This could   
   be a reason why it would work in Windows (which is not case sensitive) but not   
   in Linux.   
      
   If we determine this is your issue, then maybe what I can do is add a new   
   option that you can turn on to make that TIC filename check case insensitive in   
   Unix.
