Ctr, Victoria Uni., Wellington, New Zealand Lines: 13 Keywords: LIB$SPAWN, batch Thanks to the people who mailed me with comments about LIB$SPAWN not working in batch. Alas, the solution was to flag spawn away and use $CREPRC and LOGINOUT.EXE and a temporary file and mailboxes and $GETDVI and... Anyway, my program works now. For those that missed it, LIB$SPAWN *sometimes* does not work in batch. There is NO INDICATION via return codes etc that it has failed! The problem seems to be quota related.
