Change history
---------------
8-Dec-2000
  Needed new return_job.exe for the new libpmdf.dll (12/7/00) or
  sites would get dr.watson errors. Sites should also get a
  newer close_cache.exe and post_job.exe file as well. (NT Only)

16-Nov-2000
  Fixed a bug in the purging of the data-failed files. A new return.sh
  file is required. (Unix only)

20-Jul-2000
  Fixed a OpenVMS-only bug whereby data-failed files will really get deleted 
  now.  A new RETURN.COM fixes this problem.

14-Jun-2000
  Fixed a minor OpenVMS-only issue with proper scheduling of purging of 
  MAILSERV cookie files and SMTP server data-failed files.  A new RETURN.COM 
  fixes this problem.

19-May-2000
  The new return.sh fixes a mis-owned log file problem when return.sh is
  run as root.  (UNIX platforms only)

26-Apr-2000
  Fixed a problem to cleanup old *.data-failed files in the tcp_*\spool
  directory.  A new return_job.exe is needed for this fix.  (NT only)
