I don't use DIS, I use a heavily customised 4DOS batch file with a load
of Awk scripts and specialised programs.  I haven't had any problems,
but I do keep the numbers of SMTP BATCH etc. low otherwise it can cause
odd effects.

I'm quite happy typing in a redirection.  I'm not sure what you mean by
using pipes - what's at the far end of them?  Another bit of KA9Q/NOS,
or a file?

Oh, another one to add - input redirection as well, at present it's not
possible to automate an FTP session (you can run a script once the
session is open, but not tell it to both open the session and run the
script automatically, like from an 'up' script)...

You to, huh?  I'm glad I kept BC++ 3.1, it's the only think I can find
which produces a working version of the Demon sources (it compiles with
4.02, but just locks up if I run it).

I do have 4.02 as wel, and the DOS extenders...
