Once you make a post in a VNET sub, it may take two or three minutes for it to
appear in the VNET directory as a "A" file. VADV32 has to initiate message
tossing twice before it will appear in the directory. The first time the
message is moved from SPOOL.NET to PENDING.1 and the second time the message is
moved from PENDING.1 to the VNET directory.

The batch file was made for FTP transfers. The first IF statement checks to see
if the outbound zip file exists. If not, then we know we have nothing to send
so goto transfer to connect and receive any packets. The second one was if
there was a packet left in the OUT directory that wasn't sent.
