BBSs!  Oh for the 'good old days'.

Can this be run from another batch file at the utility's command line?

Ooooo... Sound's just like what I was looking around for the other night!  
If it's under a couple megs, send it along.  Or send a URL if you have one 
for it (though it may only exist in a SimTel archive somewhere).  I've lost 
all my old batch file memory.  I know there are commands that can prompt for 
input.  So something as simple as inputting a name for a new folder to be 
created would be easy to create and useful to use.

I could also input the source and destination drive/folders so I could use 
the same batch file to write files from the HDD to CF, or from one CF folder 
to another for creating 'playlists' from files already on this 340MB 
microdrive (Hmmm... when will 5-10GB microdives appear and drop the price 
for a 1GB drive below $100?)

Many things I could play with.  Thanks Mike.

Matt
