I used to use CFR on Lordnet also, b/c files were not being deleted when sent 
if I just used squish.. I haven't used it (lordnet) since around '99 so.. :)

 AI> A bit of running around but it gets done what I need done for me.. :)

CFR isn't all that suave.. :) Fairly simple config file.. run "cfr.exe 
route.cfr" and then run squish squash as usual. I have found it to be quite 
usefull a couple of times.. if you wanted a sample route.cfr I could post it 
here, it's about 250 bytes.. :). The CFR archive has exe's for most O/Ss.
But then if that bat file is doing what you need done... :)

It very well may, I see when squish attaches a file it only enters the 
filename, no path.. (in the pkt that is).

 Ttyl :-),
