I have to make a correction.  It seems that SendMsg will also send mail in
squish format - I had to re-read the misplaced documentation....  :-)

I spent some time trying to massage your routine into my mailer batch file,
but I'm happy to report some success with creating the wimm report.  I
really had to cut up your batch segment before I could get it to work...

I probably should have used 4dos for the logecho stuff, but the above works
quite nicely....  :))

I couldn't figure why fgrep and listmod wouldn't perform as expected, but
I'm suspecting that it might have something to do with the "tokens" and how
they are interpreted by 4dos....  ???  And, because those two programs
didn't perform, I imagine it had some bearing on why wimmtemp.bat was
misbehaving....  

           Thanks ... Gerald
