Well, here's an outline of what I want it to do. Maybe that'll help:

1.	check the inbound directory (fido\in) to see if there is any 
mail/files
2.	if not, check the outbound directory (fido\out) to see if there 
are any outgoing mail/files
3.	if there is nothing, just quit
4.	if there are, check to see if one of them is the nodediff
5.	if so, copy it to the nodelist directory and process it
6.	if any other kind of mail or files then process them
7.	end

I'm using IREX as the mail retriever, FastEcho as the mail tosser, and 
AllFix as the tic processor. 

The batch file I have now runs every 10 minutes and does everything 
o.k. if I copy the nodediff manually. But it builds up a bunch of large log 
files, and they are eating up valuable HD space. 

Not being a programmer, I’m sure there is an easier/quicker way to do 
all this. The batch file I have now runs the rabbit all over the county, 
and I’m sure there is a more direct route.

Thanks
