Since that name got mentioned I *do* recall having heard of it, somewhere
along the line...

Well, since I don't have web access I'm not likely to come across it,
unless I can find it on one of the local systems.

Not likely. I think I went to the batch file approach shortly after I
started splitting message areas up into a bunch of different directories.
You know, that silly DOS thing about not working real well if you have more
than a couple hundred files in one directory? Say, that gives rise to
another thought, I don't think I'll have that problem now with HPFS, will
I? :-)
Probably things might just be a bit more manageable with the stuff split up a
bit, but...
