This isn't clear from the Googlised translation, you're right. Page three of the DynaBat details seems to give a pretty clear outline of what it does when it opens and closes, however. We need a more intelligent translation ; ) Page 1 of the DynBat details page (here in original): http://www.thebatworld.de/system/sections/index.php?op=viewarticle&artid=120 says of the benefits of DynBat over The Batch: > * DynBat bring along its own Registry > * DynBat secures existing Registryinformationen > * DynBat does not overwrite existing TheBat!

The Batch also deletes its traces (from the readme file): > After installing The Batch!, when you want to run The Bat!, you > double-click on "thebatch.exe" and that loads your The Bat! settings > from "1.reg" to the registry and starts "thebat.exe".

(unless you made The Bat! the default email manager). But 'The Batch', according to Thomas, doesn't have the functionality of DYnBat in terms of BayesIT, and various registry details I don't understand (see the details page of dynbat). Though it seems you can have a local version to TB installed on the machine you run DynBat without it interfering. Would be good to hear from someone who's using it ????? -- DB [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___________________________________________________ Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and right-doing, there is a field.
