This strikes me as being a bit inefficient and, under DOS, will
cause the file space on your disk drive to become fragmented
quite quickly.
markd@bushwire.apana.org.au (Mark Delany) suggested some
gyrations with the MS-DOS PATH environment variable but there is
another way. Instead of copying the files you simply rename them,
run UUXQT, then rename the file back to the original name. The
same thing can be done to create the news batches for your
different feeds.
