Seems kinda dumb.  I was hoping there would be some way to log any error
messages, short of sending the entire output to a file...  ???

Given that JPSoft no longer participates in this echo, I guess this quirk
will remain unaddressed.

My son (not a fidonet user) is using XBOOT3.BTM and he may have discovered
a glitch....  He put in a call to a batch that is only to be executed once
a year.  I'm thinking that there is gonna be problems when there is a leap
year involved in the calculations.  Opinion(s)?

           Cheers ... Gerald
