 The batch file grew, and is now a Joy of Beauty

and a Thing Forever. Run from the target file's dir, it creates a

TIC file in a TICFILES dir, checking first for existing TICs and

incrementing the filename where required (up to a limit of

TIC90016.TIC), and creating or appending to the control file that

PPoint uses to send the target file and the tic file, so I don't

even have to tell PPoint to send the files. Main limitation is that

it doesn't delete used TIC files - shouldn't be hard, PPoint

deletes the control file after use, I can look for that.



4dos does lovely batchfiles.
