Wanda I was trying to post this question on adsm.org and could not post. I thought that you might have some ideas. I have a client request to be able to remove the tivoli format from data. ie to be able to see the file without tsm's format of the data. Could you post this or do you have any ideas. I heard rumor that scripts have been written for MIT. Thanks for you help. Jack Seely ** ** ATTENTION!
