Hi Lisa.

I also don't care to learn VBScript or Wsh - Windows scripting host. I try to write my scripts to run mostly out of sqlplus (-S) and use utilities such as Blat for email - http://www.interlog.com/~tcharron/blat.html

I haven't used any of these, as I use bash (Cygwin) instead - http://sources.readhat.com/cygwin.

MKS Toolkit (has ksh and csh).
