Yes, I do have a batch file for doing that, but it is on the hard drive 
of my DOS-only computer, which I have not used in a very long time.

I need to clean out the area where my DOS-only computer is stored.
Need to do that in order to get to it and to connect it again to a
power cord and a monitor and a keyboard and a mouse.  Will start it 
up again soon and I will retrieve my batch file and post it to the 
list.

BTW, does comtool still come included with the current distro of
Arachne?
