Mark:

It appears that TVL0.EXE may be the culprit. I executed TVL0.EXE and then
examined tvldl.bat and the dates are indeed incorrect as seen in tvldl.bat

WPDL
"http://tv.excite.com/listing/?date=20000805&time=000000&cat=&lineup=TZ-P"
COPY WPDL.HTM TVL.HTM

      >>> SNIP  <<<<

WPDL
"http://tv.excite.com/listing/?date=20000812&time=210000&cat=&lineup=TZ-P"
COPY TVL.HTM+WPDL.HTM TVL.TMP
COPY TVL.TMP TVL.HTM
DEL WPDL.HTM
DEL TVL.TMP

Please note date "date=20000805"

Don
