>From what I've seen so far, I may just go with the CenterICQ idea, it
seems to be the easiest way of working this. Since I'm not a linux
expert, the easiest route is best. I suppose I can set CenterICQ up to
create the .call in one folder then use the mv function to move it to
the call folder. That way it's not read as it's being written.
