I wasn't complaining, but stated as a fact that METADOS is a fairly complicated, multilevel bunch of batch files, that are - to make things a little more complicated - unpacked on the fly. And each single .bat insists on running with ECHO OFF. most of my time was spend to eliminate all these ECHO OFF's to just see what's going on. a single ECHO OFF in FDAUTO.BAT would have saved a lot of my time, and served the same purpose. as a side note: I have no experience with UNZIP.EXE in DOS, but I think it's performance pathetically slow. is this normal?
