Massive, yes. Lots of improvement opportunities, at first glance. I can't see any command in it to send mail.

The whole program is huge and like you say my goal is to get it down to a sensible level, without losing its capability to compile etc, before I hand it over in a couple of years when retirement beckons.
Thats where the problem lies then. It goes through the motions but thats it.

You may want to draw / sketch the entire picture, showing all routines / scripts (not in their entirety, please!) and their interrelation or sequence they're called. I can see your little script, a ./conv08, a ./conv09 ... is there more to it? Somewhere, there must be the command to finally send the mail.

just got back home.
it starts with ./conv right up to .conv09
When to gets to ,/con08 it then collects all the files and ./conv09 should send them all out.
Ned changed it so when it got to .conv09 it went to Deputy, thats me, then I configured that to suit my email which he recomneded I set up using Thunderbird.
Nightmare I know.
