Hello Digital Man,

I recently hatched a file with hatchit.js and I didn't realize at the time but when the file arrived at my BBS it failed to toss because of the CRC. The CRC in the .tic had a 10 digit value but tickit was expecting an 8 digit value.

Tickit told me the value it was expecting when I tried to toss that file so I cahnged the CRC value in the tic to match what tickit was expecting and then tickit tossed it without any problem.

Is it possible that hatchit can be changed to use an 8 digit value it tic files it creates when hatching files?

Ttyl :-),

Okay, I think it should be fixed in CVS now. It appears the problem was decimal versus hexadecimal notation, not necessarily just the number of digits.
