Where can I get an example of a bot written in Cobol? This
I have to see :-)
Anyway, I have it figured out now. Since my scripts are not
particularly time sensitive, my bot will just write it's
results as a sql script into a specific directory, and a
cron process will execute any scripts it finds there. That
way I can update my database without the need for
Rebol/command.

couple of months now ... :-(
