    I used this as a test .ini

    All seems fine. I had to run the FileToss stanza also to get them
    actually hatched. Do you think that should be necessary or rather should
    that process just run as part of the AutoHatch stanza? I'm not sure
    which is best/better?

    Also wanted to check on a couple of things?

    Does case matter of any thing specified in the .ini file? I'm picking it's
    a no.

    How many files can be added and hatched in a single AutoHatch? I can't recall what the limit is/was?

    Best, Paul

    That is intentional, it just queues them up to toss the next time FileToss is executed, which is in line with how the hatch function inside of the BBS
    works as well.

    I think what I might do is have AutoHatch create the file.out semaphore,
    which it is not doing, but I wasn't planning to have it run FileToss directly.
