|    Batch Command Question    |

       PQ@> Hi! Daryl,              Hi, Paul...               PQ@> Try the "-o" PKUNZIP option on the command line, Daryl. That's the        PQ@> 'overwrite' option that you need, I'm sure.               So would the command be something like:              IF EXIST *LIST.Z0? ECHO O|PKUNZIP *LIST.Z0? *LIST.0??              Note: I'd also have the .Z#? with 1 through 9, and the last ones also as       1, 2, or 3.               This way, the batchfile updates the nodelist directories automatically       when a new nodelist data file arrives.               I can write a batchfile, but my programming ends at setting the clock       on the microwave oven. |
