I forgot to mention if you can't find the second wincron program I'll send it to
anyone that requests it. It is a Win 3.x version and is donation ware for
$20.00. The main difference between this and the other is that the NT/95 wincron
strictly has to use an ascii data file and the 3.x version uses a windows
interface for scheduling even down to minutes.
