Introduction
============
Welcome to CrashTick, my favourite tick program for the Amiga! :-)

CrashTick is a program for handling file echos, the method used for
distributing files in Fidonet. Such a program is normally called a tick
program, since Tick was the name of the first program that used this
method. CrashTick has the functions you find in most tick programs plus a
few others which are not as common on the Amiga. For example CrashTick can
handle packed tick files and has a built-in Raid which lets your downlinks
connect to areas themselves withour having to bother you. As an extra
bonus, CrashTick also has a comfortable settings editor called
CrashTickPrefs.

Main features
=============
o Powerful Announce function
o Built-in Raid
o Comfortable settings editor
o Can handle packed tick files

CrashTick is absolutely free to use.

This version
============
This version contains fixes for some minor bugs in CrashTick 1.0:

 o The string 'Packing \"%s\" for %lu:%lu/%lu.%lu with %s' was logged with
   the prefix TICKERR ("!") instead of TICKINFO ("=").

 o In some places in CrashTickPrefs, all visible changes were lost when you
   selected something in a requester that popped up. This happened in
   Areas/Raid, Nodes/Raid and Announce.

 o Fixed a small mistake in the Swedish catalog: The description string
   for the Add requester in CrashTickPrefs/Areas was wrong...

 o A mistake in the manual: The command needed to pass an RFC-message to
   the Raid part of CrashTick when using CrashMail was wrong. The correct
   command string is:

   MAIL:CrashTick RAID %r

   My apologies to everybody who has had trouble because of this...

 o CrashTickPrefs forgot to tell you that the settings had been changed
   if you only changed the access a node had to an area...
