  Does this ever cause the Windows machine to lock up (or appear to be
locked up to the end user)?  Does it ever catch a partially written .ext
file?

  Years ago I had problems trying to do this, but I was generating fairly
large sales reports and production schedules on much slower Unix boxes than
we have available today.

  I finally had to cron the sales jobs to run on the hour, and then schedule
the MOVE command to trigger on the 1/2 hour in order to insure that that the
MOVE command didn't try to pick up a partially written .CSV file and cause
problems.
