presumptious in what way??

it works great for most any task you want done at whatever time... however,
i have found a problem with trying to specify a date in a month on a
reoccuring basis (eg: jan 1, feb 1, mar 1)...

i've been using it for year and have had no complaints...

i didn't find the code... the hint(s) in the docs are very apparent... i
won't mention that i've also posted a few messages that are a bit more
specific in this thread... either way, if you haven't figured it out, just
ask... my messages travel thru a gateway to a different network and format
than "normal" internet stuffs... direct email may be a tad
difficult but i've not tried it yet...

not sure i understand the terms "Maul" and "palava" but
i do know that the warpcron author has moved on to linux based stuffs...

i hear that... good on ya!
