Hold all of the active .tic files so if empty you should have no o/p when
running mbout sta  (apart from the headings and version info.

So if restoring from an old back up suggest you delete them and likewise the
contents of var/bso/outbound*  but keep the directories.

outbound* = outbound.001 , .002, .003 and .004 your own zone will be just
outbound without any number after.

Oh, you could also have other nets here as well so delete the contents.
