Dale, 

The command line calls were created for XA.  I don't believe the programs
are callable on S36.  My guess is you'd have to have the source code to use
as a guide to create a custom program.

Hi group,

I have a friend that is working at a company that is still running an old
S/36 MAPICS II implementation (accounting only), and he asked me if there
was a way to run the batch file clean up that occurs at the end of MAPICS
backups without running the backups.  Obviously, they are loooong off
support.  (But it says something about the stability of the software,
doesn't it?)

I know this has come up with current MAPICS on this thread a number of
times, but I never printed one of those off as it isn't an issue for my
shop.  Can someone let me know how it can be done today?  That may still
work with the old stuff, too.
