Jim, I don't know what goes on with my posts, but for some reason, wherever I wrote an equal (=) sign, something somewhere tacked "3D" (the ASCII hex code for '=') after it. I won't pretend to understand how email formats work, but I didn't put it there. So wherever you see xxx=3Dyyy just read xxx=yyy i.e. instead of VEREXISTS=3DNOLIMIT, it should be VEREISTS=NOLIMIT I hope this gets translated correctly, or it really won't make sense! :-) Andy Raibeck IBM Software Group Tivoli Storage Manager Client Development Internal Notes e-mail: Andrew Raibeck/Tucson/[EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
