Very creative, "TIC", but you don't get the copyright:-( We ( in comp.software.year-2000, comp.lang.asm370, and (probably) bit.listserv.ibm-main) have used "TIC" = "tongue in cheek" for a while, now. It's in DejaNews, if you want to check it out. BTW, for us old time IBM big iron dinosaur types, "TIC" is also a channel command, "Transfer in Channel", used in DASD channel programs to wait while something happens, e.g., the r/w head assembly gets to the cylinder you specified. There may, of course, be many other uses I haven't seen (VTAM?). Bill Lynch > > > **TLA: Three Letter Acronym. See "Unix for Dummies".
