Andreas, Could you get the Last Checkpoint Time from the Station Block instead of the file timestamp? Hopefully the two times would be similar. This will only work for the DB*.UC and it should work on that other platform. I am not sure how the BB*.UC is timestamped, prehaps the previous checkpoint.

I've to support the whole range of AWs from AW51C, AW51E, AW51G to AW70. The windows machines are a little bit tricky regarding to their implementation of the shell and the different versions of shell.
