   What do you use to play the .fic files? Is there a shareware version of the .ficplayer?*

        "Conducting fuel-consumption tests on a new twin-engine plane,
         we were en route from Pennsylvania to Florida.  Just north
         of Richmond, Va., I called the air-traffic controller to make
         a position report on our plane, whose designation was 5000Y.
         The controller, in a Southern drawl, replied, ‘Oh, no, not
         again!’  I was puzzled by the response until I realized what
         I had said: ‘We are 5000 Yankee, 25 miles north of Richmond.’"
