  22.    ----------------------
  23.

  29.             <filespec> is the full drive, directory, and file skeleton that
  30.                        you want to monitor.
  31.             mc is the number of seconds the Monitor is to wait after
  32.                a candidate file has stopped growing before renaming it.
  33.  
  34.      Example:
  35.  
  36.        SP3MON /C1: dir=c:\c1\*.plt
  37.

  39.  
  40.            Port = LPT1.
  41.            Directory =  C:\DS4\SPOOL\L1\*.SPL
  42.                                   or L2\*.SPL
  43.                                                  etc, depending on which
  44.                                                  port you have designted.
  45.            mc = 3 seconds.
  46.  
  47.    Usage
  48.    -----
  49.  
  50.    The MONITOR will rename any file that meets the <filespec> skeleton by
  51.    changing the extension to ._00, and then ._01, and so forth.  If at any
  52.    time there are no ._ files in the directory being monitored, then counting
  53.    will start fresh at ._00.
