Ftrack can do scheduling, bouncing, packing, all in on package. Essentially, you can have it perform additional actions at the same time it routes. Think of it as netmgr+router. I can code these features (basic) into my tosser using perl hooks but I also am the person that does not believe in reinventing the wheel! :-) JD> However for the person that doesn't need them, it is also nice to not JD> have to wade through them. Its sort of like... why use an elephant JD> gun when a fly swatter will do? I am also thinking the same since my hpt has all the routing capabilities I need. In fact, hpt's routing is more powerful that squish's.

JD> Thanks for explaining it. You have not got a clue! Look around in R50 sometimes as there are *lots* of nice software packages. If you are not good at figuring out software without docs then I encourage you to avoid the frustration. There are mailers for unix that work very well with a BSO or Filebox setup (bforce and qico). I kind of see it as a challenge. The Ruskies are more than eager to assist. I post English in the ru.* echoes often and there is always at least one who willing to help out.
