if you think that's bad, you haven't done much wading into your *nix boxen's 
logs in a long while... remember that binkd originates from *nix and that's 
where the development mindset is... this is why we haven't been able to get 
some requests fulfilled (eg: adding some additional semaphore files for things 
like freezing binkd for log processing, terminating binkd with a specific error 
level for maintence or log processing, and similar)...

FWIW: you shouldn't need the "if exist" there because the file wouldn't be 
there if "for %%n in" didn't find it to start with ;)

desplice? as in break out each session by session id number? how do you keep 
them in date/time order to make running down the day's sessions easier to 
follow?
