   Mine is a bit odd, I suppose. Binkd runs on linux and fmail and some other   
   fido utils run on a virtual WinXP on the same machine.   
      
   I use 'exec' in the binkd config to run a script that backups every incoming   
   file.   
      
   exec "/home/fido/bin/cp2bck.sh *F" *   
      
   This script also updates a log file. The change of the log file is detected on   
   the WinXP side to start my toss batch file...   
      
   But I also run my toss batch file from my editor startup script, and from an   
   hourly maintenance batch file. As a redundancy measure I suppose...   
      
   Wilfred.
