Hmm, apparently just saying that the files are attached doesn't make my mail client actually attach them... Who knew? A few additions to the above: - turns out I also had a "view.bat" (attached as well) - there's no need to make the .bat files executable -- CMD doesn't care, and Cygwin won't be confused that way - the way they are written now, they'll only work with CMD.EXE (i.e., not on Win9x/ME) -- I have yet to find a way to do what needs to be done using command.com's retarded command set Hope this helps someone, Igor P.S. In the hopes to get this past the SPAM filter, the files are named .batch instead of .bat. Just rename after downloading. -- http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/ |\ _,,,---,,_ pechtcha@cs.nyu.edu ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ igor@watson.ibm.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Igor Pechtchanski, Ph.D. '---''(_/--' `-'\_) fL a.k.a JaguaR-R-R-r-r-r-.-.-.
