PE> Of course it takes an extra day for f711x934.txt to drop the
PE> "-- archived --" bit, but that's fine. 

BL> It has to go through the entire files list, but once it finds Special
BL> Requests it's pretty quick to find the "-- archived --". If you know
BL> Special Requests is always going to be up the back, you could do an
BL> fseek() to move the file pointer closer.

No, I wasn't being sarcastic.  It fixes files.20 up, but doesn't regenerate
f711x934.txt.  I could call my batch file twice, since it only takes 10
seconds or something, I just haven't done that.

BL> MUCH better! Just one action. Sending a zero-length file has a
BL> certain panache, but why do you need the file? The TIC itself should 
BL> be enough.

Show me the mods I need to this bt.cmd fragment...

"cd\yatic"
"yaticp"

BFN.  Paul.
