   I did not even try cURL as the explanation was just too dern complicated.
   Fiddled in Excel,as it has so many different ways to do something 
specific.

   So, this is skeleton of what i have:
  Workbooks.Open Filename:=openFYL$ 'opens as R/O, no HD space taken

    then..
  With Worksheets(1)
'  .Copy    ''do not need; saves BOOK space
   .SaveAs sav$  'do not know how to close when done
   ' above creates the file described; that takes HD space, about 300K
  End With

   IMMEDIATELY after the "End With", a folder is created with useless 
metadata info; do not know how to close when done.

   WARNING: Scheme works only in XP and Win7.
   If in XP, at about 150 files,one gets a PHONY "HD is full" warning 
and one must exit Excel so as to be able to delete processed (and so 
unwanted) files.
   I say PHONY because the system showed NO CHANGE in HD free space, 
never mind those files take about 500MB.

   Furthermore, in Win7, these files show up in a folder the system 
KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT..Windows Explorer does not show C:\Documents which 
IS accessible; C:\<sysname>\MY Documents is shown and CANNOT be accessed.
   Instead of the Excel program crashing, the system is shut down and 
locked.
   YET other reasons I hate Win7.
