I think, the best way for adding/replace stuff is -- write a 'temp' -- rename 'temp' to 'file' because a rename is truly atomic if 'temp' and 'file' are in the same file system. If you can implement the 'temp' for 'file' to be, for instance, '.tmp.file', I can easily teach the checkers to ignore '.tmp.*' files. I think rsync does something like that (even better .tmp.$$.file). Just a thought. > -Mark HPP ---------------------------------------------------------------- _ Henk P.
