Hi,

I thought some might be interested in my latest batch file to manage ePrompter configurations. I think my old file was the inspiration for the nicely done ePbatch files.

I've only tested under Win98se so the considerations and documentation with ePbatch mostly apply. Although my batch file, ePrompter.bat, works fine as is, hopefully, it will be developed into the well-documented type of utility that ePbatch has become. My file contains some minimal documentation at the end of it.

This one cycles through 26 configurations, allowing the management of 416 email accounts. That should satisfy almost all needs! (I'm about to cross the 48 account mark, myself). It makes no changes to the contents of the ini files as set up by ePrompter. Alternate configurations are maintained in backup files renamed by single alphabet letter extensions from the original ini files.

See the appended "ePrompter.bat" file. I see in the preview for this post that my comment formatting at the end of the file has been damaged. If you have trouble reconstructing something readable, let me know.

Will this batch approach work if I want to set up two instances of eP with different schedules?

I like to check my AOL, GMail, Hotmail and Yahoo accounts every 1 minute but when I set it this way, my Yahoo accounts stop working. I'd like to have my Yahoo accounts in a second eP instance and then set the schedule to check mail once an hour. That should keep the asterisk away from those accounts. Will this work?
