We use a tool that came with Synon (Cool:2E or whatever it is now) that
works just like the above, using YCRTOVR as the routing data. Works well
unless the command string is over 256 characters or contains a CRTxxx
command it doesn't recognise. An open source replacement is on my TODO
list, but if it's already out there... :)
