I ought to make that a shareware program. Register it, or your dinner
will get burned. LOL

I remember one of the documents about "Wanting to be a Sysop" noting
that "you must be able to construct events (batch files), or be prepared
to live at your computer". It usually crashes in the dead of night, or 5
minutes after you walk out the door. :P

Isn't it the truth?? I've got batchfiles set up to update various
things, not to mention nightly maintenance.
