-TickIT automatically executes ''[[dir:exec]]/addfiles'' when it processes files sent to your system in FDN areas stored in your file bases. Addfiles is executed for each file as it is processed. Files stored outside of your file bases will not have addfiles run against them during processing. 
  
 In a recent change to SBBSecho/EchoCfg v3 and ''tickit.js'', the TIC file password for each FTN-linked node is now stored in the ''TicFilePwd'' key of the corresponding ''[node]'' section of the ''[[config:sbbsecho.ini]]'' file and can be managed via AreaFix and via ''[[util:echocfg]]''. In a recent change to SBBSecho/EchoCfg v3 and ''tickit.js'', the TIC file password for each FTN-linked node is now stored in the ''TicFilePwd'' key of the corresponding ''[node]'' section of the ''[[config:sbbsecho.ini]]'' file and can be managed via AreaFix and via ''[[util:echocfg]]''.
