Ok, here is a batch file that seems to give pretty good results at my
end. I have NT v4.0, emacs-20.7 and gnus-5.8.3. Maybe Yair Friedman
can give it a try; I forget whether he had NT or 98/2000. I changed a
few things, %VAR% is the form for DOS based batch crap. Don't just
substitute `$' with `%'. Also, you need "quotes" around the %VAR% to
make a comparison to nothing on NT.
Anyways, maybe if this works for some other people you could include
it with the bbdb distribution... Then again, maybe that's asking for
trouble, but at least it is here.

Bill
