    Hello, mark!

    Replying to a message of mark lewis to Sean Dennis:

    it'll probably be faster than the loop but i dunno... it might also be "del /q" but i don't recall the raw OS/2 del command options any
    more...

    Just discovered I had this echo still but it wasn't set up in Squish, odd.

    So this is what I finally did to solve this:

    ===
    rem ** Process incoming Fidonet nodelists
    if not exist d:\bt\in\nodelist.z* goto toss
    cd\qnode
    copy d:\bt\in\nodelist.z??
    for %%f in (nodelist.0* nodelist.1* nodelist.2* nodelist.3*) do del /n %%f unzip nodelist.z*
    del /n nodelist.z*
    qnode
    ===

    This is part of Internet Rex's BETWEEN.CMD that is run when mail comes in.

    Later,
    Sean
