About my request to change the path I've found where the script should be changed, in the Backup variable definition, but ain't sure about how to type those "\" or "/" according to this language conventions
Done. See the new attachment. The substitute mechanism is quite flexible and should satisfy even you

Regarding / and \. Internally I only used /, so it seems, that python is smart enough to convert / to \ under XP. It *might* even necessary to use / in arguments passed to the script.

I was rather thinking of something for the hoster, who has to send all .trn files (+ ftherland , some don't but it makes a backup indeed !) to all of the players.
Some even make separate emails for each player with each turn file attached !
Here a tool would be great, and it could be easily automated to follow the hosting.
I see. Thanks for elaborating. Shouldn't be too hard. The only problem, while I don't run unit tests and such, I like to test my software at least rudimentary, which means, I have to host a pbem game. And a pbem with only a host is somewhat pointless. And I don't want to incur the eternal wrath of players by using a real pbem as my testbed. So I'm looking for some kind of sacrificial lamb...
