I tend to be a bit more open ended, though it seems the CRC32 issue has been
resolved to meet our needs. :)

For now. :D  I'm in the testing phase, I have successfully hatched a file on my
own net, and will be testing on another FTN, once the details have been sorted
out with the coordinator of that net.

Yes, I've rewritten my script to be as generic as possible - it takes a number
of environment variables and hatches the file.  I think it should work with any
TIC processor that can process incoming files and forward them on to downlinks.
 Once it's in the wild, people can try it out. :)  It does, however, require a
system with the BASH shell.. :-)

 AI> Thanks ago for your help.. :)

Likewise, thanks to all involved - Alan, Maurice, etc. :)
