I think it will depend upon what tools you are willing to use. If you don't want to use perl (which is how I would do it) or a Unix emulator (eg. cygwin) or some other scripting language. MS-Dog Batch files do not count as a scripting language in my book.

If you are not willing to install a proper scripting tool on NT (which so many people seem reluctant to do) you might be stuck with ftping to unix and/or writing a program (or INMOD) in a 3gl (eg vb, c) to generate the mload scripts for you. NB: you can't write inmods using VB - at least not that I am aware of).

The other obvious possibility is to share the drive on NT then mount it on Unix using NFS, Samba or some other solution. HOWEVER, BE WARNED - It is my understanding that NCR does not recommend multiloading data from a network drive - so you might be on your own if it doesn't work. On the other hand, you get the best of both worlds. You can use your Unix script and don't have to ftp the files to unix.
