Thanks to Foxbor's excelent technical support group (thanks Ed & Stan), I can now sucesfully srhink my CP images on the machine this was failing on. They found, hidden in a dark and dusty corner of thier database, that if a stray eject process was runing, shriks will fail! Yes, I to have a hard time seeing this corelation, bud indeed killing the eject process, and the shell that spwned it. fixed the problem. Tuck taht one waya in your obscure sollutions notes! Thanks, again Fooxboro TAC! -- Stan Brown [EMAIL PROTECTED] 843-745-3154 Charleston SC. -- Windows 98: n. useless extension to a minor patch release for 32-bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16-bit patch to an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor, written by a 2-bit company that can't stand for 1 bit of competition. - (c) 2000 Stan Brown.
