VA will unbatch batch.txt files as they come (you either enter the name of the file, and the Internet service to which to import it in a dialog, or you write a one-line DLL call, and start the import program). Mail is a little more difficult - because KA9Q dumps mail on to the end of existing mail files, and because there is no official delimiter between mail messages as such. However, it would be pretty trivial to write a pre-processor to put the messages into VA format. All it requires is a a line "Memo #n (ssss)", where n is an ascending sequential number, and ssss is the size of the message in bytes, counting \r\n as 1 byte, between each message. You gets lots of other spiffy goodies with VA, too. -- Nikki Locke, Trumphurst Ltd. PC & Unix consultancy & programming nikki@trmphrst.demon.co.uk http://www.trmphrst.demon.co.uk
