   Yes, bbbs does create the file ithaca from the door when I run it. It's a very   
   long file, 3 days worth of weather stats IIRC.   
      
   BBBS does not create shortith though.   
      
   For windows, the curl command might be a little different, I'll check that out   
   later and let you know.  You are running Windows, right?   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
