RE: Re: Basic questions about "video streaming"

["Phil Harris" <phil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

If I still had it, yes, but I think I deleted it after I'd finished
and I'm
not at home at the moment to see if I still have it...

I have feck all experience of batch files so they're still a black art to
me
but it was something ridiculously short - like about 5 lines - and I
"wrote"
it by just modifying a batch file that I found on the interweb that did
some
action that I can't remember (and wasn't important to remember) on every
file in a folder.

Anyone who actually knows anything about batch files would probably be able
to write it again in a matter of seconds...
