Dale, I hope it is just the same as in other DOS applications
that use a DOS routine to create unique file names, so that Pegasus
takes care that no name occurs twice.

Next thing: Have you ever tried to name your "new mail" directory
DALE.MAI?
We have Pegasus running on four PCs with only two being
capable to connect online.
Svazek v jednotce P je HARDDISK
Vypis adresare P:\
. <ADRESAR> 08.12.99 21.10
.. <ADRESAR> 08.12.99 21.10
ARCHIV <ADRESAR> 08.12.99 21.10
HOME <ADRESAR> 17.08.00 20.20 -> my compressed folders
CHRISTOF MAI <ADRESAR> 17.08.00 20.21 -> my new mail directory
MARTA MAI <ADRESAR> 02.06.00 10.12 what I move to Marta's PC
MILA MAI <ADRESAR> 02.06.00 10.12 what I move to Mila's PC
JANA MAI <ADRESAR> 17.08.00 20.22 what I move to Jana's PC
[files...]
All those MAI directories contain only individual files CNM and TBS.
The new mail directory can be selected to browse because it is called
XXXXXXXX.MAI, too. Only Marta and Jana use Arachne online on their PC.
So I had to configure the directory for outgoing messages with
PCONFIG.EXE to be JANA.MAI.
A batch file EXCHMAIL.BAT does the traffic with the floppy disk.
The environment variable %home% has to be edited for each PC.
@echo off
:: edit the following line: who is working here?
set home=marta
for %%f in (christof marta jana mila)
do if not %home%==%%f move p:\%%f.mai\*.C?? a:\pmail\%%f
for %%f in (christof marta jana mila)
do if not %home%==%%f move p:\%%f.mai\*.tbs a:\pmail\%%f
move a:\pmail\%home%\*.tbs p:\%home%.mai
move a:\pmail\%home%\*.c?? p:\%home%.mai
(lines 4/5 and 6/7 in the batch file have to each in one line!)
Shall I post this on Arachne list? Moving mail files to disk or
directories is perhaps not completely OT (see insight's mail-for-not-
online-feature). Anyway, I apologize!
Greetings, Christof Lange
