Somehow freelist moved stuff around the first time. I'll add extra lines to see if it helps. **************** I have an updated blow.bat file for Blow utility to work on Windows Server 2008 R2. I assume it also works on Windows 7, although I have not tested on that platform. It also works on Server 2003. The tee.exe that is supplied with original BLOW crashes on server 2008R2. The new version of blow.bat uses dos to display to screen and redirect to log file (through a temp file). Replace your blow.bat in d:/opt/blow (typical install) with below included text. Tee.exe is not used here, so you can delete it if you want. Good luck. Thanks "list" for your help.
