Using batch files and copy is a nice way to implement a file move
but it lends to not only the need for disk space the size of the 
file being moved, it also tends to reap murder in the disk fragmentation
department.  I got the source for mv.exe if anyone wants the program. It
updates the FAT table directly, making for not only quick moves, but
non-fragmenting ones at that.  Cheers :)

BTW,  send mail,  lets not eat up bandwidth (whatever that is).
