.. One fine day, Brenton waffled to Dieter..

 Hello Brenton,

 BL> You want to erase them afterwards, though, in case you end up with
 BL> funny files in the TXFILES directory. When I first modified Brenton's
 BL> batch files, it kept putting 00000000.pkt into TX and then sending it
 BL> along with the 00000000.mo0.
 DM> I had it right, for a while. Then TPOINT tripped me up when TML
 DM> was busy. It trashed my mo0 pkt, and sent the null pkt.

 BV> I beg your pardon.
 BV> It is not possible for TPOINT to trash your mo0 pkt file.

 It does now !! :-)
 
 DM> Then I thought I had it sussed, but ended up sending today's mo0
 DM> pkt, and yesterday's PKT.
 DM> I've put it back to how it was - sending the mo0 pkt, but
 DM> invoking sendmail again with a duplicate copy of my rep if I
 DM> don't get through to TML first time around.
 BL> Your way will work until you end up with an odd packet or mo0 file
 BL> in the TX directory.
 DM> Like when TML is busy.

 BV> If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

 It's all Paul's fault - he's the one who insisted on the *.mo0 
 packets.
 
 Dieter
 

... Speak your own mind! You've got nothing to lose.
