|    Batch Command Question    |
|    11 Dec 13 19:09:17    |
      I have it set up in my nightly maintenance batch file       to process incoming nodelist files, and copy them to       the needed directories.              However, sometimes, I get a file that's already in       there (extracted from the *.Z?? file), and the       system stops at the prompt, asking if I want to        overwrite it (the answer is yes). Sometimes, I don't        discover that until the next morning.              I know that the command ECHO Y|DEL *.* will wipe out       the contents in a directory (one has to be careful       with that).              I think that ECHO A| (followed by the PKUNZIP command       desired) would work, but I'm not sure of the syntax.              It's probably a simple answer, but I'm afraid if I        try something, without being sure of it, I'll get into       trouble!!              Any help would be appreciated.              Daryl              ...
