Fully agree, so for folks using XEDIT and DIRECTXA by hand (that we were talking about) they *are* the directory maintenance product... They may have bizarre rituals like saving a copy of the source directory on their 1-pack rescue system, checking for overlaps after editing extents by hand, formatting new mini disks. And on my wish list: the userid that issued the DIRECTXA command, so we know where to put the monkey. And there might also be a need to record the number of DIAG84 calls after DIRECTXA, as well as the parameters of the last one :-) Rob Bob: I have never met anyone who maintains his directory by hand and uses cluster format. ;-) I must admit that I was thinking about a checksum of the full source, but then realized it would be not very informative for the audience looking for the source directory.
