    I read my Wildcat Reference Guide printed in 1996 to see how to use the
    wcEvent program, but it isn't even listed there. I want to have a batch
    file that runs daily, and I assume this would be the program to
    accomplish that. Can anyone advise the format to make it work?

    Mike:
    Find Wcvent.hlp in your WCx folder and run/read it. Then run Wcevent.exe.

    wcEvent is a GUI based application. It's pretty straightforward to get
    up and running. It even comes with example events out of the box to
    help give you some idea as to how to set up your own events.
    Personally, though, I use Internet Rex running in daemon mode to handle
    all of my batch file type events.
