The following is an alternative which may satisfy your requirements.
The ability to automate the selection and deletion or relocation
of files meeting unaccessed criteria is but one of the myriad of
tasks which can be performed by TaskMaster.
TaskMaster was reviewed and recommended by PC Magazine's Network
Edition("Avanti Takes NetWare to Task" - November 22, 1994). To
quote the reviewer, "TaskMaster is a highly workable utility for
automating network tasks. Because of its strong resemblance to the
DOS batch language, most NetWare administrators should find TaskMaster
a worthwhile addition to their arsenal of utilities that is easy both
to learn and to use." LAN Times ("Avanti's TaskMaster Takes NetWare
Servers to Task" - February 27, 1995) called it "a feature-rich product."
InfoWorld recently evaluated TaskMaster generating (according to our
sources) in a HIGHLY FAVORABLE review calling it "indispensable" and
rating it Very Good (just below Excellent - we received dings for our
DOS interface [Windows is in Beta] and dry manual [too much text and
too many examples]). Watch for it to appear in one of the next issues.
A fully functional thirty (30) day evaluation can be found on
