It makes maintainance more difficult - or, at least, more time consuming. 
I guess you could convert demon.bat into a make file, forcing 
autoexec.net to be rebuilt if it has changed before net.exe is run, but I 
like a simple life :-)

(Actually, the idea of converting demon.bat into a make file sounds like 
the sort of thing I'd do on a wet Sunday; sad, isn't it?)
