Thanks for the heads up on that. I'll try "calling" it from
another batch file and see what happens.
 
TradeWars 2002 had that same problem with taking its sweet time finishing
up its nightly maint, but the author must have fixed that on the release
that I have because its a lot more faster now - not like it was back in the
90's where that game would also take over an hour for its maintainence to
finish.
