Lolly,
Sure I did test it and it works fine under XP !
There's even a nice log file to knwo what happened .

Thanks much, good to know

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...

And what did reply your husband for the kiss btw ? ..

Let me put it this way: I won't give away my age, suffice to say, I'm seasoned, quite seasoned
