SQ> Right! ok! SQ>>> I'd like to break it up into disk-sized chunks. ml>> disk-sized?? floppy disk?? SQ> Oh, a sad day it is when we no longer think of "disk" as SQ> "floppy." <> had to make sure... hate to ass-u-me things 8-0 ml>> well, shouldn't matter, really as you can extract the PKTs and ml>> store/toss them straight without them having to be ml>> inside the bundle (*.MO1) file... SQ> That's running parallel to what I'm thinking in case I have to SQ> break the thing up manually. On the plus side, while it's not SQ> a program, a ZIP drive popped up last night while I was SQ> digging out of the computer room, and that'll easily address SQ> this problem. :-) other than wanting to break the _bundle_ into smaller pieces, i still don't know what the overall problem is that you're attempting to address... ml>> well, if you run 4DOS or such, SQ> I don't. uggg... how do you run your system, then?? hahahaha... if it wasn't for 4dos/4os2, my stuff would just stare at me and everyone else with its single unblinking eye... some of what i used to do with .bat file majik is built in or at least infinitely easier with 4dos/4os2... this is also probably one of the major reasons why i haven't moved this setup to winwhatever... i don't even want to think about what i'd have to do to get it running on linux... might not be as bad as it could be if dosemu is what i think it is OB-) ml>> you could do something like my logfile archiving stuff ml>> that i beat on for a while... my system archives *.log ml>> every night into one syslogs.zip file after renaming ml>> *.log to the SQ> I use AMU to do this. I KNOW it'll work with the software SQ> you use, and it's free! true but at that time, i don't think it was... might have been but it was way too capable/involved for my needs... just archiving my logs (only two lines in a .BAT file for the rename and the pkzip command) into one huge archive is enough for me... that is, until i decide that i want to keep them and get them off onto floppies <> but, i've already gone too far 'this year' because i didn't move the huge archive and files inside it from last year have already been replaced with this years files... i just hope that i don't need any of my old netmail that's been purged from the netmail area to text log with my NMPurge program... s'ok, though... an archive covering a year should be ok for the most part... ml>> hopeing i've not misunderstood something... SQ> You did good, and thanks for the note! not a problem... hope you got yours taken care of... )\/(ark * Origin: (1:3634/12) .
