** Quoting Richard Webb to Joe Negron:

JN>  Event All  23:59 23:59      F                   E1=70  E2=30  E3=30
RJT> I do for some things,  like the midnight maintenance events...
JN> That's what I thought I was doing here! :)
RW> Right, but the date rolled over, and binkley recreates .day and

Well, that would require some re-working of my batch files (which use
internal 4OS2 functions to rename the log files according to the date),
but it's doable.  Thanks.
