Hi! mark,

On Tue, 28 Aug 12, you wrote to me:

Nah.  I was thinking of a two-liner, still involving daynbr (which I don't use 
here) and a tool I use called NSET.  NSET could pick up the output from daynbr 
and spew it into a %temp%\temptemp.bat file.  That's one line.  The second 
simply runs the %temp%\temptemp.bat to SET the %envar%.  It's a technical 
solution found long ago in BATPOWER.  I use it here.

However, the environmental constraints that Dallas is hinting at has me 
confused.

Cheers,
Paul.
