RE: [ECS] Can ECS monitor a directory? Steve Rauco Wed, 1 Mar 2000 14:47:24 -0800 (PST)

I use Winbatch to automate the Outlook Import/Export.  Then I use FoxBase
(the old DOS predecessor to FoxPro) to filter the info and place it in the
text file at the appropriate time.  Winbatch should be able to do it all,
but being an old Fox programmer, I stick with my element.  Also, System
Agent is a big help in telling it when to read Outlook again and reset the
timer.
