hi,

i'm putting together a simple business "flow" process.  some zip files are
pulled from a vendor.  i need a process to do the following, archive the
input, unzip the zip files, and execute some transformation on some of the
data.

currently, it's on a windows server, but we have linux servers in our
environment too.  i was thinking of using an ant script to handle/drive
most of this execution.  as ant is primarily using for building (java
appliations), does anyone see issues with using ant to drive this file
processing and manipulation?

thoughts/ideas are very welcome!

thanks,
-mark-
