The following information corrects page 33 of the release notes for the
3+Open 1.1e Maintenance Update release.

If you want to run the GROWACC.EXE program on your dedicated server, here
is a procedure that creates a batch file that runs using the AT command from
the NET ADMIN prompt:

1.  Make sure you have access to the SLEEP.EXE program.  (SLEEP.EXE is a
program that allows a pause for a specified number of seconds.  It is
currently available in the Ask3Com forum, as part of the SHTDWN.ZIP file.)

2.  Create a STOP.CMD file, customized for the value-added services on your
server, to shut down the services in reverse order of their invocation
in the \3OPEN\3STARTUP.CMD file.  (See the SHTDWN.ZIP file on Ask3Com for
sample commands.)

3.  Create the following batch file and name it CHNGACC.CMD:

net send * "The server will shut down in one minute!"
sleep 60
call stop.cmd
net stop server /y
growacc %1
net start server /y
call c:\3open\3startup.cmd
net load srvshare.pro
echo ~     3+Open          Active >LCD$
net send * "The server is back!"

(Note:  It is a good idea to document in the batch file where the files
SLEEP.EXE and STOP.CMD are, and what they do.)

4.  Type the following command to execute the batch file:

        net admin \\servername /c at HH:MM chngacc.cmd size

HH:MM are the hour and minute you would like the command to execute.
Size is the size you would like your NET.ACC file to grow to.
