Thank you to all the people who sent replies regarding my problem with backing
up at a particular time without using a TSR.

To all those people, however, who told me that RO are the only priveleges
necessary to give the backup a/c, I offer my explanation.  Firstly, only a 
supervisor a/c can backup all the files, including user files, security
information, binderies etc. and the reason why write access has to be put
on is because without write access, how is the program going to change the
archive bit?

If someone could tell me another way, I would be most appreciative.

Now, onto other matters, how can one run a batch file from a login script
without using EXIT "batchfile"?
