I've used Sterling's GENTRAN <=> SAP extension on their UNIX product and it works fine. Although it isn't doing anything magical that you couln't do with your own complex batch files, it makes the connection easier to "see" and manage, and handles the status messages back to SAP on outbound IDOCs. I assume they have the same option for the NT product, and if so, I'd say go ahead and spend the money, rather than trying to figure out all the little nuances yourself.
