HTick st_htick.pl error

A sysop posted (28Nov11) in the HUSKY echo about getting the following error message when attempting to run the st_htick script on his htick.log file: No files in areas or wrong number of days! He was using 1.4.0-stable. Script is available from hticks misc directory. Hasn't been updated for quite a while. For some reason, there doesn't seem to be an archive at SF for that version, though the CVS tag is available.
