Re: Real Time MP3 Encoding

[Grimshaw Stuart <stuart.grimshaw@xxxxxxx>]

The later versions of windows come with a schedular (sched.exe) I think.
If not try looking at Tucows (www.tucows.com) they'll have something
that will work.

I have seen a W95 port of the Unix cron daemon, but it wasn't very good.
I'd go for something with a better front end.
