Jay:

Write a script  that asks for the year and append the input to the
default file name and make a file equation to it.

In suprtool input the the redefined file and do what you need to do in
suprtool while appending the qualified extraction date to a file defined
in append mode..

Do the same for each inputted year.

Olav.
