Then suggest all the sorts of things Windoze users are constantly fighting

Yep, we do. Infact I didn't have any virus protection on any of my servers,
but before posting here did install NAV and do a check.
Virii found: 0 ;)
I did find, and fix the problem. In fact it's a problem I had and fixed
several months ago and totally forgot about.
A client has a system that automatically uploads an 'update' file every hour
and it is munged into their e-commerce set up. If the file is too large it
can overload the system. This is due to limits of FileMaker and AppleEvents.
Their POS people are supposed to have the system set up upload 10K chunks
but apparently this is happening. As a result I'll write an AppleScript that
will chop any oversized files before munging.
Of course the real solution is to use a 'real' database, but this is what
the client uses and hence it is the back end here.
The problem here is not the database, nor the OS, but the flakey mind of the
overworked/underpaid admin. See below:
