(1) As you're a demon customer look into batch ftp
(2) If you're talking about DK lite, I've used it several times without
any service packs on NT4 server without errors, but apparently I've been
lucky, you need service pack *1*. This can be found (talking of CDs) on
Pc Pro Mag March '97. Also on the same CD is service pack 2 (and a lot
of the hot fixes) however this *isn't* the latest version of service
pack 2, so see (1) if you still want it.
If you're not using NT4 for internet access & you're not having any
problems (I use 3.51 & WFWG for that) then (IMHO) 'well tested' service
pack three is (apparently) due out soon, so I'm waiting for that.
