I just wanted to report back in case anyone else is interested in this batch file.

The good news is that both the installation and running the batch file were very easy, almost exactly as described (the only change was that I had a slightly different pathname for calibre). The Mobipocket files it produced seemed perfect.

The bad news is that within a day of carrying out the procedure, my hard drive suffered a catastrophic failure and nothing could be recovered so it will all be to do again. (I hasten to add that this process had nothing to do with the broken hard drive.)

So I have been without much computer access for awhile, but I expect to get my new machine in the next few days and I will certainly be doing this again once I have copies of all of my backed up data arranged to my liking.

I would be interested to know whether it is possible to modify the batch file to convert all (unencrypted) Mobipocket files in a particular directory to epub and to rtf as this process actually seemed quicker and cleaner than importing everything into calibre and then exporting it again.

Many thanks for the instructions!
