 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
