*** Quoting Spectre from a message to Warpslide ***

Sp> @TZUTC: 1000

I saw after the fact that you're using IceEdit as well, so I knew this should
work, and it seems to.  If all has gone according to plan, this message
*should* have a TZUTC & CHRS kludge.

@ECHO OFF
C:
CD \TELEGARD\DOORS\IEDIT
ICEEDIT.EXE /D:C:\TELEGARD\TEMP%1
REN C:\TELEGARD\TEMP%1\MSGTMP MSGTMP.NEW
TYPE C:\TELEGARD\KLUDGE.TXT > C:\TELEGARD\TEMP%1\MSGTMP
TYPE C:\TELEGARD\TEMP%1\MSGTMP.NEW >> C:\TELEGARD\TEMP%1\MSGTMP
DEL C:\TELEGARD\TEMP%1\MSGTMP.NEW

Now I just have to finangle a way of updating that KLUDGE.TXT file twice a
year for daylight saving time.  Looks like the time is changing on the 14th
for us from -5 to -4.

Thanks so much, that's very clever and helpful.  I never would have thought
of adding it that way.
