Hi Mike,

ML>As well, the shutdown.exe file in the OS/2\INSTALL directory is
ML>different as to size and release date for a Warp4 vs. MCP2
ML>installation from what I've seen here.

ML>      Warp4  FP17 --------- 19,010 bytes  08-09-96 1:01am
ML>      MCP2   XRC05 -------- 25,362 bytes  09-24-01 3:56pm

OK, didn't know there were different files with the same name delivered
from IBM. Of course updates are another thing but the size difference is
larger than a normal update.

ML>Hmmmm....  I think when I'm out at the remote site I will rename the
ML>externally furnished shutdown.exe to a different name, as well as
ML>change the program name in the REXX .CMD file I wrote.  It just
ML>might be that the path priority in whatever the system is using when
ML>all this fires up actually isn't using the shutdown.exe from the
ML>archive!

Well, anyway you got the remote setup working again without going there.

Have a nice day,

Holger
