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

 Hello Bob,

 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.

 I had it right, for a while. Then TPOINT tripped me up when TML 
 was busy. It trashed my mo0 pkt, and sent the null pkt.
 
 Then I thought I had it sussed, but ended up sending today's mo0 
 pkt, and yesterday's PKT.
 
 I've put it back to how it was - sending the mo0 pkt, but 
 invoking sendmail again with a duplicate copy of my rep if I 
 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. 

 Like when TML is busy.
 
 Dieter
